Default Re: Dansette Chorister Repair advice

I will need to defer realignment for a while.

Even slight movement was causing the radio to cut out. If have reflowed some of the soldering and that has improved things but the on/off switch is still troublesome after several goes with Servisol. I may need to dismantle it to clean it. I will also have to look more closely at the connections around the wavechange switch.

I have also noticed that the crackle and my single station are right at one end of the scale.

After this there is no sound at all for the majority of the the travel of the tuning dial until right at the other end there is a short period of crackle but no further stations.

Any suggestions why most of the dial should be silent? I have visually inspected the vanes and can not see anything that would short them.
