Hi everyone, is there anyone willing to restore a cr100 for me, I inherited from my father and remember it worked well 45 years ago! I’m in south Oxfordshire but can travel, many thanks Bruce

Hi Bruce

It will really depend firstly on how much restoration work has to be done, secondly, how bad is the condition of the set? Those sets were built like a tank and therefore very robust, I think the worst will be the valves in it and the electrolytic capacitors. PM me if you would like me to have a go at it, but remember no promises.
