Re: Another R1155 thread!
Lovely job there Lloyd, it's great to see such classic old stalwarts being brought back from basket-case status and revitalised. I saw a comment, likely on Antique Radios Forum, that the BC348 was probably the most hacked-about set ever, the R1155 is maybe the British contender for that crown! I suppose that both were unloaded onto the market in vast numbers and both needed home PSU arrangements that varied from "death-trap" to "enviable" in competence.
I know what you mean about buying an apparent "scrapper", then finding that it's better than expected and not having the heart to plunder it- I wouldn't be surprised if that's a near-universal syndrome here. Trouble is, it's a route to acquiring (n + 1) where n tends to infinity of whatever you only meant to have the one of....
