Default Re: Trying to revive a Goodmans One Ten receiver

There were quite a few Goodmans receivers in different guises, some with built in record decks. The three main (serious!) ones were the Module 90, 'One Ten', and the '150'. I started my hifi career with a Module 90 in 1976 (long gone) and I now have a 150 in my collection of vintage receivers. I am in the process of buying a One Ten from a friend. All models have been featured on here at various times. Out of interest, here's a photo of my restored 150. BTW, I would clean those switches again and with the power off operate them many times. You'd be surprised at how dirty and unresponsive to cleaning they can be sometimes. Best of luck.

Edit. Out of interest, I read or was told in the 70s that a rich Arab Sheikh had bought - I think it was thirty - Goodmans 150s and specified that they were all gold plated. What bits were gold plated I don't know, but anyway, it's a good and somewhat plausible story. I see no reason for someone to make up something so obscure.
