Re: Trying to revive a Goodmans One Ten receiver
Got the tuning unjammed! This by first cleaning the capacitor bearings with no residue contact cleaner and a lot of exercising. The some contact cleaner with lubrication and more back and forward tuning.
Very careful not to get any spray on the capacitor fins.
Also cleaned the tuning string with isopropanol.
Managed to get the cap to sit more straight by adjusting the three mounting screws. Seems as if the rubber grommets on them where unevenly compressed.
Once the tuner moved I got good reception and sweet sound quality. Alignment seems good getting local stations where they should be on the scale.
But even though I get flawless FM reception the signal strength meter is not moving.
Can this be related to the stereo lamp being broken?
