Leak troughline ll, first successful restoration.
As promised, here is my first restoration from 2012. I didn't post it at the time as I didn't think that as a newbie there was anything I could add to the knowledge already on the forum.
Some of the photos are screen shots and others are photos of photos as I didn't have a smartphone at the time.
I won the leak on eBay for £36.00 advertised as not working. I did note that the facia was scratch and chip free although it wore those little diamond stickers issued for the frequency change.
The set was dusty but looked untouched, and the fault was a loose earth strap at the output.
Picture 1, is that blue cap. Original?
Picture 2, faulty earth strap to the right of the blue cap.
Picture 3, crowded area around V5, ECF 80.
Picture 4, T4 Foster - Seeley discriminator which will get 2 x 100K resistors.
Picture 5, cutout required for new dual cap.
More to follow.
