Default Re: 1971 Philips G6.

Thanks Tas.
The last job we had to do to the set was find out why the sound output was so low and accompanied with intercarrier buzz.
The single standard G6 has a two stage 6Mhz amplifier employing BF194 lockfit transistors. Simple voltage measurement tests revealed that the first amplifier had no emitter volts, another faulty lockfit.
The transistor was replaced and the sound was restored to full volume and completely free from intercarrier buzz.

Regards,
Gary.
