If you can find a circuit that would be helpful. Many of the European circuits are of a much better standard & more detailed than most of ours.

The German radio would be no different than any other and I have worked on some European ones.

The Major trap is that the Europeans have a bad habit of using "Live" chassis and Ballasts instead of transformers, which are treacherous if you do not realise what you have.

In other words before fiddling "Caveat Actor" applies as does "Look before you leap".

The fact that there is a circuit, should be of imense benefit.

Flying blind, risks wasting lots of time, especially if you have to reverse engineer to get the circuit. I have had to do this with a few.

Hopefully this may encourage someone a little closer to you to respond, as they won't need to do this.

Hi Met,
I don`t understand your problem, let me know what is missing or place a picture.
I have also spare parts.
I don`t understand your email, it returns.
Something completly different (Yepp, but this is not MONTY PYTHON) to the moderator of this forum:
Is it possible to change the homepage generator?
There are free forum converters available and if new posts arrive, topics will rise to the top-line.
Now you never know, if someone answers after a half year or not.

Best regards from Germany,

MonsieurTelevision
