Default Balun works

As I've just acquired a couple of vintage sets that have VHF with 300 ohm inputs, and given that my VHF downlead and disty system are the now standard 75 ohms, I bought a balun for a couple of quid off the internet, soldered on a couple of short wires with banana plugs and it works great with my Grundig 3028. Much improved reception and sound quality over the internal aerial - as you'd expect of course. Just thought you may want to see it.
