Cossor Melody Maker 494 A.C. Valve radio
Looking to restore this Cossor Melody Maker 494 A.C. Valve radio, would this make an ideal first valve radio restore?
I haven't plugged it in at all as I am aware of the risks, ( the original owner said "the radio starts up but no sound just hissing") so no not going to try it....plus I guess a good starting point would be to replace all the "waxy" capacitors?.....now I have downloaded the service data, trader sheet etc,
Where is the best place to buy the replacement capacitors and how do I go about the values and voltages? i.e 0.01 MFD modern day equivilant?
Would someone be able to give me a list?
Also the tuning dial pointer cord has broken, where do you get replacement cord?
I have removed the chassis from the bakerlite case and have given it a bit of a clean
any help would be much apprieciated......be gently though as I am quite new to this forum but willing to learn from all you experts out there
