lol, I love it Thanks Paul

Mike, I had to laugh when I saw the problem, pity it took me so long lol

lol. Good one Ken

You got that right Steve. It's something I just don't bother looking for. I will from now on lol

Yes and so annoying when you see the obvious lol

I certainly can

They are tiny for sure Ken and the MP3 on these sets always always sounds good. Maybe Trigger was out to stud that day lol

I'll look him up for sure. Thanks

Thanks Mike. Yes a cool hat, I want one lol

lol, thanks a heap Steve

I think we'll have to get in line for a hat like that Baz lol. I've not come across any bad IF cans on these or the Fleetwoods, I've been lucky I think

Thanks for watching Larry. Hope all is well with you and the family

Thanks Man :)

Not that I can notice Mark. I may have been lucky :)

Thanks Steve, I do need to check those valves a lot more than I haven't been doing lol.

Thanks Baz, much appreciated coming from an expert. Yeah, I hate changing sockets and usually swear more than normal, but hey, we're Aussies lol

These things do happen Ken, luckily it's rare, for me anyway. Thanks as always :) ps: I hate changing sockets lol

The original power supply outputs 6 volts, so I used the DC power supply which is sitting behind the tape player to supply the 6 volts to the unit. In part 2 I installed two banana posts to the player for power input. Thanks for watching :)

@@exeterslab7781 so any 6 volt adapter should work, my assumption is it doesn’t draw a lot of current either!?

@@JK-gw6mz Yes any 6 volt charger/supply will do. Most are rated to at least 1 amp which should be plenty. I don't recall the current drain but I'm guessing milliamps

Thanks so much Steve :)

My pleasure Larry. Thanks

Thanks Rob. I can never work out what the fault in any valve is, and you cant repair them unfortunately. I'll have another look at it in the near future. Maybe this set had an EL33 as the output or the 6v6 is also faulty in some way. Thanks for the input, always appreciated :)

Hey Ken, yes the converter was faulty. These old valves we use can be so problematic at times, luckily they made zillions of them.

Thanks Mike. Just keep on persevering and you eventually find the fault

Thanks a heap Chris :)

Thanks for watching Baz

Hi Andrew. Thanks for watching :)

Thanks Larry. You've been quiet of late. I hope all is well :)

No Paul, I didn't. Just checked and nothing in my spam folder. strange

Thanks Baz. They work well. I just put one in a Stereo Player and yep, they are stereo. They're cheaper from Ali Express than Ebay

Thanks Mike :)

Thanks Ken. I was shopping and when I saw them I thought that might fit inside the arm. You get lucky sometimes lol

Thanks Steve. I occasionally come up with an idea that works lol.

Glad I could help Simon. These carts are really good, I've no idea how long they last but at that price who cares? lol. I just searched Ali express and they have them at a cheaper price.

Thanks Ken. An easy fix which I thought was worthwhile showing for the newbies.

Thanks Paul, it is a lot of fun. Hope you are well :)

Definitely not Steve. I have no idea how to do that...oh poor me lol

@@exeterslab7781 Have you ever seen old Buzz1151 do it? He makes it look easy as he manages, fumbles, to get pretty close to the original resistance of the two broken wires and uses his custom made winder to redo the coil to the total resistance.

@@hestheMaster I'll check him out

The bane of my life Baz, I've got so much stuff in boxes I've forgotten what most of it is lol

@@exeterslab7781 know this well, you also know you've got one but no idea of where you put it, hence 2 days wasted looking !

@@techobaz55 so true Baz

Thanks Mike :)

Yeah, I was lucky in finding the exact coil Terry. Things have been quiet lately but I do have some radios coming in soon. Thanks Man :)

Thanks Baz :)

oh, I just subscribed to your channel. Mate, you can fix anything; wow!

​@@exeterslab7781thanks heaps 😅

Thanks Steve, One of those rare times I guess lol

Hey John, yes the 6BM8 is a good output valve. Yeah, I don;t believe anyone produces cans. I did see a video ages ago where someone cobbled one together using modern parts that looked like the tiny if cans in transistor radios. Old IF cans seem to be in abundance though I have quite a few from stripping old chassis and they test fine

lol

Thanks Champ :)

Thanks for watching Mike :)

Ta Mike :)

Thanks Larry, those poor mica's are now getting on in years

I had the same thought Terry. Two great minds!!!! lol

Thanks Ken, it is a nice little radio

Thanks Ken, you're too kind. It did come with insulators and I used paste as well. Yeah, in the day these were amongst the best amps around, now it sounds like crap lol. If you want that original 70's sound this will do the job, I reckon a valve model would sound better
