Roberts RMB up and running
Hi All
RMB 48267 is up and running. Dead on arrival it was a case of replacing the old wax capacitors, 3 of the valves and repairing broken MW aerial wires (detached where they solder to the frame pins, not broken). So now she is up and running. The only thing I have been unable to do is adjust some of the cores in the inductors as they are siezed - any tips on removal and replacement sources? Rog |

Re: Roberts RMB up and running
Try trickling some lighter fluid down into the cores, this should loosen the wax enough to enable you to adjust them.

Or even ear wax softener drops.
