Tale of a Z
#11

The radio is an excellent performer, or I may not have bothered. Someone had been in and recapped a lot of it already (modern caps, doubt it was more than a few years ago), but apparently gave up when they couldn't get it to work. I found the problem right away, it was the RF choke in the power supply.

It is a pain to strip this chassis, but what the hey... new experience and all that. I just hope it turns out looking significantly better than it did.
