Default Re: Marconi tuner problem

Hi Les,
Quote:
I wonder if this is the tuner where the rods finally act upon a spring loaded bar? If it is, the biggest problem I ever encountered was 'poor reset', i.e. the inability for the tuner to go back on station each time, forcing the customer to re-adjust the tuning each time.
Yes this is the spring loaded bar type, luckily the tuner itself is fine, as is the soldered bar, now the tuner is back in the set & staying tuned nicely.
The picture has also improved since this morning, as this set has not been used for years due to the tuner fault.
