Default Re: And the next one! a GEC BT2147

Hi Matt,

Something wrong there. Has it had a turret tuner fitted (ITV modification)?

It seems that the first RF stage is mostly missing...
I used to have a spare brummie RF unit, I'm really not sur what bacame of it. It will probably be Christmas before I can have a good look for it. Maybe someone else has one to spare? Anyway, don't that stop you from continuing, you can still get the timebases working and check the tube.

Hi John,
I did have a go at a capacitor. This one had only faint markings on it unfortunately. I was surprised to find it actually had quite a strong cardbard tube hidden under all that treacle. It turned out to be one of the easier capacitors to restuff. You never know, I might end up putting them back in my set

Cheers
Andy
