Default Re: Hmv 1115

Well the HMV1115 is finished & it does sound GOOD with plenty of volume!
The volume control (with switch) had gone open at the very beginning of its travel, just a tiny bit further & it was blowing the windows out!
Found a replacement without too much trouble then the wave change switch decided to act up, I was thinking I would have had to replace it with a modern one but decided to have a thorough look at the thing under the magnifier. Would you believe it? It was caused by a dry joint that had been there since the set was built!?!
Overall I'm very pleased with the way it turned out, its probably not for the purists out there but the other half loves it.
