He provides the smart recommendations of not powering on an old set such as this up until you have a possibility to examine the situation.
The insides of the amplifier were about as disorderly as the last radio repair work we looked at. however after very carefully working his method with the circuits, replacing capacitors as well as resistors as needed, he started to make some progress. The receiver coil needed to be rewound as well as he utilized cable from an old CRT screen for this purpose. The loop antenna was remounted as well as the record player arm was provided a new cartridge as well as balanced utilizing a creative LEGO apparatus. Some veneer work as well as wood completing brought the situation itself back to its original beauty. We’d state the difficult work was well worth it.
