Hello all.

I have an E.A.R Bantam reproducer marked Nov 57 which I picked up for $10.00 at a local auction house 12 years back. It recently fell on my foot when I was rearranging the garage and so I thought I would take a look at it.

It will only play audio for say 2 minutes tops, sometimes less. The sound just dies, but the motor keeps running.
Two valves, one wax capacitor, one metal can and two resistors is all there is. Can anyone give me a heads up as to what may be the issue please.

All comments gratefully received.

Cheers,

David.
