Grunow 835 question
#6

Hello fella's,
Well I tried the grunow on shortwave last night and it seemed to be working on all frequencies.
I was able to pull in some stations on am at the lower end of the dial, but they were not as loud and stong as on the upper half.
I found that there was a wire connecting the 2nd and 3rd gangs of the tuning condensor on the terminals on the top.
Wire was frayed and touching the condensor. One end of the wire was just pushed through the hole in the connector while the other end was soldered.
I removed the wire and tried it and it seemed to work better.
I will have to refer to the schenmatic and see if that wire is supposed to be there.
Not sure on how to check the condensor with an ohm meter?
Would you check the stationary fins to the hinged fins or what?
Anyway, have to go out and clean up leaves, so have a great weekend guy's.
