Hi All,
Joined today as I have taken on the repair of a Mullard MAS 1153L Radiogram for my boss. I am not really into collecting, more into fixing things and helping people.

I started electronics in January 1980 and spent many hours learning thermionic valve theory in a Navy classroom, and now remember about none of it..
I am these days a computer chappie, more into networks and firewalls than desktop stuff, however over the last year or two my interest in electronics has re-kindled.

Thanks for providing this valuable resource.
Cheers,
Glenn.

Oh, and just for kicks I am building a full size classic Dalek.

You will pick it up and you have chosen the right place to join. They are a top bunch of guys here.

Welcome to the site.

Hi all. I'm fortunate enough to have beaten my siblings to my parent's Little Nipper. Whilst it works well enough I wouldn't mind having it returned to its former glory. I've not dabbled with this sort of thing before and as a result I have a few questions.

1. Is this the kind of thing a novice could contemplate?
2. The set has been kept indoors and out of the weather, but is it recommended to have the electrics checked.

I switched it on for the first time yesterday and to my pleasure it worked well

I'd love to keep it that way

Appreciate any feedback

Thanks

Tim C

A novice has to start somewhere, so you might as well start with this - as long as you know what a capacitor is.

Probably the only thing to look for is to replace the greasy waxy old capacitors with nice new ones.
