RFT Saalburg 5170C radio (Techniek Radio/TV)
Hi. I have managed to repair my Saalburg 5170C radio (many thanks for the help of those people that helped me on this forum). The fault of the transformer fuse "blowing", was due to a fault on the heater pins on the EM84 valve shorting. There was also a problem with the UKW band being on low volume - this was resolved due to a dry solder joint on the circuit board.
With reference to Harry's 5170C radio on this forum, mine also had problems with the ferrite aerial falling off the gantry. I managed to support it by tying cable ties around it. Unfortunately, it had ruined the tuning capacitor and the l.w aerial coil, I had to get a replacement tuning gang, but I am still after an original l.w coil for this set. Can anyone help, please ?
Was there a Saalburg radio made with Radio Noordzee (REM EILAND) on the dial ?
