Re: Hmv 650
Great work Jerry, and what a magnificent radio- not a project to undertake lightly! It always brings a little smile to find evidence of previous competent repair to vintage kit that was obviously done long after its original purchase- it suggests to me that something was sufficiently valued and appreciated that the owner was prepared to invest in keeping it going.
Bit of a pain to find that a new component was faulty though- I try to avoid the paranoia of testing every new component before use, but I sometimes do when a job is too inaccessible, awkward and painstaking to have to repeat. Just occasionally, something has been duff from new, and a certain law tends to apply regarding its difficulty of replacement....,
