Re: Whats your winter project?
For me it's:
o Investigating/fixing low sensitivity on my Barker-88. I'm suspecting something has gone 'soft' in the IF chain.
o Continuing the rebuild of a Hallicrafters S27. All the wiring is cotton-covered and totally rotten; I have a good stash of the fibreglass-covered high-temp wire salvaged from a cooker. There's also loads of resistors/capacitors that I know from experience will be leaky/drifted.
o Rebuilding a Roberts R707 whose output-stage has blown its power-transistor pair (I plan to install a LM380-based IC amplifier) and has what I suspect are Lockfit-related issues in the preamp/tone-control.
o Building up the single-ended transistor amp I've been discuusing here recently.
That lot should keep me occupied for a few dark evenings!
