Default Re: Restoring my old Soviet radios

Resuming the work on the Soviet radios.

The next "victim" is my VEF221, which in fact, is a "RITMO" (Cuban copy, under licence of the VEF221). As this is one of the most recent in my little collection, it is in not so bad condition, althought it doesn't work.

I found two main problems on it. The volume and tone controls, have cold junctions; and the pulley in the axis of the variable tunning cap is loosen. That will be the first two issues to solve.
