Hi everyone,
I've just started working on this radio . It is an early 1960s set using 12 volt tubes and a two transistor output stage. Once I figured out which was the feed to the dial lights and which was the real power lead things went much more smoothly !
So now it goes though volume is low and a little distorted.My main concern is how the printed circuit board comes out and I'm hoping someone on the Phorum will have worked on this or a similar set.
It looks as though there is a bolt in the side which holds the board in but once this is removed it looks as though the board will only come out if the retaining bar is desoldered. Am I correct in this ?If anyone has any experience with this style of dis- assembly could they post a response here?
Thanks everyone and all the best.
