This awfull paint job was not mine ! Underneath the original still is intact | So, you want to restore it ? Be prepared to open every one of the sealed cans |
The metal plate upper right holds all RF unit coil slugs. It rides up
and down to fine tune each band over its one megahertz bandspread. This
a superb acheivement or micromanagement at its worst. However, the
extraordinary sensitivity or this radio speaks for itself....when it
works! |
A view of the detector and AGC unit with my Hamification, a ceramic
resonator, required after I attempted to adjust the original coils
resulting in their destruction. |
My replacement IF transformers, a pair of transistor radio IF cans
connected back to back mimics faithfully the charateristics of two hi Q
coil resonators. Gain was not lost by doing this. | The front panel shafts can be disconnected by removing the little retaining ring |
first mixer oscillator crystals next to input RF unit. Each of these must be unsoldered to remove the RF unit for service | Selenium rectifier for negative AGC bias. There is a spare spool of nylon fishing line in case the dial cord breaks | |
