Hi. I have managed to find the main problem on this radio (why it was abandoned in the first place). The scale lamp holder was faulty, the centre contact was loose in its fitting, and this caused it to catch the other terminal causing the fuse on the mains transformer to blow. I rebuilt the lamp holder by using a solder terminal connector and fitting a nut and bolt and washer to the underside of the holder. The low tension side is now working, and in fact I am now receiving stations on the radio. The only main problem is the ferrite aerial switching (internal/external).
Is there any way of contacting the German radio sites without having to become a member to gain information & spares, please?
Kind regards
Mike
