Hi all,
I've attached a photo of a Baird Lyric back as reference for the kind of thing I am aiming for with the replacement back panel for the Garrick.
The vision RF unit has now been cleaned up ready for evaluation. One photo shows what a couple of the heater decoupling capacitors looked like after cleaning, to the right of them you can just make out the two that still needed cleaning.
The last photo shows the finished look after rubbing down with an oil soaked scouring pad.
The cleaning of the RF unit involved and unpleasant and surreal task. Yes, I say surreal because never in a million years would I have thought that I would end up spending an evening removing individual mouse turds from a TV set's RF coils with a pair of tweezers
Still, it's all part of the hobby I suppose
Cheers
Andy
