Default Re: Trio 9R-59D receiver problems.

Tech man thanks for your information i will check it out

And David i will look in to the one from the usa .And it would be easy for me to fit it if i have a direct fit .Its worth thinking about yes ? . To send it out for a re cap will cost a fair price after caps are found and fitted .

I did say that another 9R 59D came to day . From a well known web site eBay .
The radio is a brother to the one i have .Even down to the HUM .
So to swap out the smoothing cap from that in to mine is of no use .Because the smoothing caps are redundant in this set as well as the one i have now .
I was going to use it for spares but its reception is up on mine its got something mine is missing . It was dirty through in house tobacco stains . But Cif cleaner soon made the front look clean as a new pin. .The shields on the valves are a push fit and had a job removing the valve from the shields ,
Another mod i can do that it is not to complicated, is to fit a new twin and earth mains lead .

But back to the original .David i will look on the usa web site and price up a smoothing cap like the original thats in there now .Come back to you asap .Thats if you want to help me . Thank you .Trev
