Re: Ekco AC77 - well on the way - not there yet!
The Paxolin Voltage Selector strip on the mains transformer was too bowed as will be seen in the first picture. I'd made a new brass screw as can be seen, but as soon as it was finger tight, the original Paxolin selector panel bowed, so using that as a pattern, I made a new panel. (In the second pic, the old one is at the bottom).
When powered up, the PSU worked fine, that that's a success story at least!
Next, the speaker refurbishment and rewinding of the field coil.
The third pic shows the poor state of the speaker with the field coil removed and the hum bucking coil now hanging loose.
Fourth pic shows the heavily rusted pole piece with the field coil in place.
Fifth pic shows the open circuit field coil, which is a very naughty boy!
