Hello folks,
I have been fortunate enough to have been gifted a Hacker Hunter (S/N 22709) in unmolested condition. See pics. It came complete with a Hacker power unit VP408. It has not been run for at least 15 years. I tested the power pack and it produces a healthy 17.7v DC of the correct polarity (centre pin negative). I plugged it into the radio and switched on...… Well, it produced clear sound on FM for about 1 second then went silent. Turning power on and off repeated the performance. The power pack was still producing juice on-load. So the next move was to download the manufacturer's service data from this website, which I now have. That's it for today as I have driven back to Bristol from Harrogate this morning and from Edinburgh to Harrogate the day before, so I'm giving my braincell a rest now. I'll check the voltages against the service sheet tomorrow when I'm thinking more clearly. Cheers for now! Jerry
