Re: More Chinese AM radio kits
I just couldn't live with the ZX623's ugly and cheap looking yellow case so I decided to paint it black. Looks a lot better.
Assembly gave me a couple of problems. There's no indication which way round the tuning capacitor goes and I got it wrong. All the stations were reversed if that's the right word. Anyway, all the stations at the high end of the dial were at the low end and vice versa. I devil to desolder and make good.
The bracket for the ferrite rod has to be mounted under the tuning cap on the component side but I found the leads were then too short to solder. In the end I cut the bracket down and glued it to the PCB.
