Thanks for the great advice and help everyone.

Have possibly stumbled across someone who has a bit of history with this particular unit, just waiting on him to come back to me.

Will do GTC.

Hopefully will be able to translate and relate some of the new terms I learn. Smile

Good morning all

Happy new year, hope there were some good holiday breaks had.

Just a reference to what was going on with the pacemaker and as per GTC's request to follow up on what was found wrong with the radio,

After having it checked out, It requires a replacement output valve, the IF and RF amp valves require replacement . Several resistors and capacitors need replacement. The RF and IF sections require realignment as well as the dial drive requires re-lubrication and the speaker out put needs to be reconfigured.

Other than that, everything else is in good working order and condition.

Thanks for all the help guys.
