yup.

The 50's were the heyday for German radios. All sorts of bells and whistles - competition was fierce. 3D sound was big (think Bose with direct and reflecting sources) and they were putting more and more speakers in the cabinets - and this was before stereo - 6 speakers in some cases - 2...

I've worked on similar radios/stereos out of Germany - Saba (top of the line), Telefunken, Grundig, Siemens, AEG. This one was make for the American market, hence FM goes to 108 MHz. Europe originally had FM (there called VHF) to only 100 MHz, later extended it to 104 MHz, and finally to 108...

I have a similar generator - they must have re-badged them with at least 5 or 6 different names. But I agree - they work well, are easy to use, and cheap. I wrote some software (mine came with some s/w) to make it easy to set up as a wobulator to use for aligning the IF in AM/FM radios (this...

I agree with Fred - good advice. This could be made to work as is and it'll keep its value and uniqueness.

I would clean the board with brush & alcohol. Looks like there is a fair amount of residue flux. Great way to both inspect the board and remove any solder balls.

My son for Christmas bought me a vinyl album (Nathaniel Rateliff - It's still alright, ). First new vinyl album since the late 80's. I still have all my old vinyl and my kids love looking through and playing my old stuff. Much of it well worn. So I was really impressed with this new vinyl -...

My son and I built the ST-70 version which he now has in his apartment where he's not living since he's back with us due to the covid. Paired it with my Dynaco PAT5 that I built in 1979 when I was living in Amsterdam. Bob Latino makes some nice systems - if you like tubes (I do).

Pretty tough to "see" distortion of less than 5% (even with a trained eye) on an o-scope whether it be digital or analog, so for hi fi work, useless. Even noise riding on the signal can be tough to see unless it's really gross. That's why you can pay big bucks for signal analyzers - they can...

Indeed, doesn't get much better than that. That's Bonnie on slide. Loved it.

Is that your recording of "Blue Sky" playing during the credits of the film?

What a great story - shared it with some friends.

Right place. The White Oak site has lots of info and possibilities with what you can do. If you search this site, you'll find lots of details from folks who have used White Oak components (myself included) and who are quite happy with the results. Are you looking to do it yourself, or have...

Hey Nando. Not well, actually. I replaced the capstan drive and some belts. Mechanically it runs well, but I can't seem to get the expected frequency response - output falls sharply around 2-3 khz (I bought one of the calibration tapes.). I've replaced all the potentially critical capacitors...

Can you explain more? I'm interested, but not familiar. Thanks.

Using your picture provided about, I see W17 - brown, W7 - blue, and W6 & W16 - black. Hope this helps.

So for about the same cost you could have a Pico scope (I'm assuming you have a desktop or laptop that could be used with it.). The Pico scope is a no-brainer with regards to setup with the computer and includes a built-in signal generator - which is great for learning how to use it. And it...

I have one (2205A) in addition to a bunch of Tektronix scopes. For audio work the PicoScope is all you need, even the cheapest lowest bandwidth one. HP made some nice scopes, but I always preferred the Tek scopes. BTW, I used that 1741 back in the day (probably mid-80's). Storage scope is a...

Go for it, if it is working (all functions) and at a good price, otherwise I'd go for a PicoScope. See here: https://www.picotech.com/oscilloscope/2000/picoscope-2000-specifications

And I agree that caps with a 25 wvdc rating are inadequate. 35 volts would be ok, 50 volt caps would be better.
