Blaupunkt tuning drive - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

kestrelmusic · 21st May 2024, 11:27 am

I've taken on restoring a Blaupunkt Rio 56 for a friend. I managed to locate a circuit diagram, but the tuning drive arrangements are horribly complicated and there's no diagram.

Has anyone done one of these and kept notes and/or pictures?

The machine's in a horrible state, much rust on the chassis etc. Heigh-ho...

Hi. I have a Blaupunkt "Virginia" radio. Wonder if there are any similarities in circuitry and other details?
Will have a look for the details, and could try and posting you a copy.
Cheers
Mike

Hi. I have the circuit only for the Blaupunkt Virginia, and not the cord drive.
Cheers
