Re: HMV model 2401 "Stereomater" restoration
Hello Nick,
My HMV 2401 sounds pretty good on VHF (mono), for a "radiogram" (assisted in no small way, by the EMI speakers - also fitted in my larger Ferguson Transistagram, which also sounds rather good). I was quite impressed and that, together with its appearance, convinced me to restore and retain it.
If your similar tuner/amp was hissy (on radio, I presume?), I expect it was because it used the original Thorn/BRC SD1 mux decoder, a discrete components multiplex decoder, rather than the later Phase Locked Loop IC types.
Regards,
