Well, now that I have bought it and picked it up from very nice folks, I am starting with it.
Here are the first pics:
Here's how it looks. Not bad.
The inside is a bit dusty.
And the caps have rabies.
And the grill cloth is nonexistent though enough is left to see what it was.
Now, with this foaming cap the owner told me he kept powering it up. Even before I bought it. I wrote to him then that no matter what happens, he should not be powering that thing with the cap looking like it is.
Now it is up to me to fix it all up.
I will update you as I go.
Mike.

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM |
