Ekco AD65.
I'm currently restoring a "basket case" Ekco AD65. Fortunately the case is in reasonably good condition and I've managed to obtain a reproduction tuning scale.
So far I've restuffed the capacitor block, rewound two sections of the dropper resistor and replaced most components on the tag strip which the set seems to be built around.
However the set has been got at in the past. Several wires have been cut and capacitors of seemingly random values have been crudely soldered in in seemingly random places.
Of course I can work out the correct circuit wiring, but determining the correct commoning points is more difficult.
Is there an AD65 owner who can take some under chassis pictures for me please? Hopefully they will set me on the right track. I'm particularly interested in the wiring around C10 (Trader Sheet) which is mounted on the rear of the tuning capacitor.
Thanks.
