Chris Suslowicz Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks for that will have a look later ,hope to have it up and runing for the show season. :tup:: Fifteen squids is exceedingly cheap! (Especially with the canvas and presumably the brush guard (protective grille)!) The problem you are likely to run into is faulty electrolytic capacitors, and some of those are _inside_ the IF transformers - which are soldered in and hard to remove for repair. Best of luck with the restoration. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
