Hey guys, the Roberts lives again

I took it apart this afternoon and did as Darren suggested; checked all leads and tapped the big silver thingies gently with my screw driver.

Then, almost as I was gonna attempt the Avometer, I noticed a wire on the that didnt look quite right. So out with the soldering iron an resoldered the wire back on. Hey presto life so once again it lives; only problem now is it wont pick up Radio 2.

Every other station seems ok but not Radio 2. Maybe I should leave well alone, but must admit I'm now thinking about having a go at the two old Bush VTR 103's that have stood silently on the shelf for ages now.

Any bright ideas darren ?
