Default Re: Restorers dream part 2 the chassis.

As so many guys are following your thread Colin I thought it might be worthwhile to post some pictures of the Ekco tuner and the position of the .1uf AGC decoupler as the tuner was employed, with very few changes, in a huge range of Ekco receivers over a ten year period. The tuner coil 'biscuits' are easily unclipped [spring retainers] but are not so easy to refit as they are a bit tight. Make a note of the positions before removal. They are usually marked with channel numbers so it will also let you know what channel coils are fitted in your particular receiver. Ekco usually were quite generous here. My new replacement cap can be seen in the last picture. J.
