Default Re: Bush vintage radio DAC90A.

No matter what experienced advice is given, guys usually go their own way with the obvious disasters. I have always been a 'get it working regardless of how badly' before mass changing components.

You cannot become a radio repair guy with one recapping of a DAC90.

Never has so much been written about a 5 valve AC/DC superhet.
Just take care and new guys on the block, please change one component at a time checking the results as you go.
You need a service manual and a test meter and know how to use it. A very cheap meter is all that is required for radio repairs. Aim to get a first squeak out of it and the rest should be easy. J.
