Dial chord horrors! How clean was our alignment? Grundig Satellit 6001 restoration part 6 #PCBWay#
Only $5 for 10 PCBs and every new member get $5 bonus. + Express 24 hour service on https://www.pcbway.com/ This radio came with a broken dial chord on the Short-wave tuning capacitor, and there is no way to get around this tedious task other than going ahead and doing it. The problem is getting the correct tension on the chord. Too tight and it won't allow for comfortable tuning; too loose and it just slips. However, I think I've found a good way to make adjustments after the fact. It may help you too. Someone also asked about a visual alignment of the IF, and I think it will be interesting to see what shape of curve we got from the previous stage.

I have restored Nordmende tube radios before, but never this model. It dates from 1952/53 and still uses the 'Mende' logo on the front, so it has a respectable number of years to it.
This one was sent to me as a gift from a viewer in the Netherlands, and his only wish was to see it being restored on my channel. How could I refuse?
Hope you enjoy the series.

The first step in restoring this Loewe-Opta Truxa 1701W requires looking closely at the power supply and making any necessary repairs to this section, prior to moving on to other stages of the circuit. The usual problems of old filter caps was sorted out, but here I also decided to replace the selenium rectifier with silicon diodes.
Next comes the audio stage, but I decided to do a full re-cap, replacing all the old paper capacitors with good quality foils caps, just to avoid problems with leaky caps on the radio.
Does it work? Well, see the video for yourself and find out.
Enjoy.

I asked for help and I got it. Thank you all for your suggestions.
The number of switches on this radio serves as an indication of the many possible sources of faults that can crop up. And they do. Some serious cleaning, and a little micro-surgery, usually does the trick.
Did it work here?
See for yourself.
Enjoy the video.

The tests prove what I'd expected: This thing rocks!
Enjoy.

I love the smaller tube radios, and this is a great one. Grundig is renowned for high quality radios, and their small versions should not disappoint.
We shall see.
I wanted to head straight for the power-up, but the plan was not quite realised. After some checking, we fire her up.
But is there life in her?
Watch and find out for yourself.

The tubes in this radio seem to be bad, and as this is not one of the radios that I normally work on, I don't have spares on hand. Fortunately, with the many comments that the first video received, I was able to source a complete set in Holland. They should arrive soon, so I turned my attention to the other tasks that need doing. The capacitors all seem to be bad, and their replacement is quite normal. However, I found that many of the resistors also need replacing, so that got put on the list too.
I hope you enjoy the video, even though it comes with a spoiler alert: we won't see it working just yet!

Getting the FM section to work was quite simple, and it's there and healthy.
The challenge is the auto tuning, which is not working.
I replace caps and make a few other attempts, but ... still not working. It's definitely unavoidable, so it is study time again. I love it!
Hope you enjoy the video.
