Default Re: GEC BRT402D Receiver.

Good luck from me, too. It's a fine, even a deservedly classic receiver- unfortunately, it uses about three-quarters the chassis area of an AR88 to accommodate a similar number of valves with similar topology but about twice the number of passives and nearly twice the HT consumption.... so it runs H-O-T. That also means it's very packed in there, it's best to take time and care over each bit and don't set hard deadlines per stage or you'll be on the road to demoralisation. It rewards with excellent audio quality, good coverage and one of the nicest tuning drives around, though.
