McMichael 155 Questions - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

bobskie · 25th Jun 2017, 4:15 pm

Yesterday I bought a McMicheal 155 radio for £9.50 off eBay. I was wondering if this has a 'that' capacitor inside which I should definitely replace. I will get round to replacing them all eventually but I want to test it first. I was also wondering if anyone has more information about this set or owns one themselves, it appears to be quite rare. In fact the radio museum picture is the exact same one as mine as it has incorrect knobs too and veneer missing in the same places. I am also on the lookout for a circuit diagram if anyone has one. I will try and upload some pictures later but for now you can just go on radiomuseum.krg and it's the same exact radio. Thanks for the help!

Thanks I'll need to get that. I will need to remember that website it seems to have loads of stuff.

EDIT- I think I will actually buy the DVD all those manuals are pretty much priceless, I never know what I will get in the future.

OK I'll get C31 replaced then power it up on the dim bulb tester. Hopefully it will work!
