EF80TVVALVE · 25th Nov 2021, 12:39 am

Well tonight's workings have been checking the compatability of the TV12 RF chassis, it required nothing more than a capacitor and a few resistors fitting to the main deck, as well as some alterations to the capacitor feeding the ECL80 from the RF deck. I have had a look over the TV12 RF chassis and it is in very sound, untouched condition. The EF50 valve holders look good bar one which may still work okay. There are two broken tags on one of the B8A sockets (UL41) so one is on order, once this has been replaced we'll see what sort of life we get from it.

Unlike the TV22 RF deck, this one has been left untouched and never fiddled around with. I fear that the TV22 deck is going to take a fair amount of work to get it in good order, so the use of this TV12 deck will hopefully give me a good set for now whilst I can make repairs to the original deck as and when time and parts allow.
