Default Re: Woodsons SR-12 receiver

Hi Johnny,

I am now the lucky owner of Jim's Woodsons' radio telephone (of which, I assume the receiver is the SR-12 that you have)? There is indeed a muting arrangement as you assume. I seem to recall that it's something a simple as disconnecting the receiver HT via the mating plug/socket (SO4?). Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip, I had a good prod around the innards and saw that some of the components are not originally placed which means that its going to be a slow process of checking the entire component layout. On 12v filaments, my psu is drawing 1.3A and touching the primary of the output transformer produces a crackle in the speaker. Coming down with something, so this is on hold again.

I hope you recover soon johnny.

Misplaced components aside, I've always found that taking voltage measurements is the best and easiest way to fix faulty radios. Others may disagree.
