Kirk's Sparton 65
#33

Plus the grid cap on the 75 had bad connection and had to be resoldered, sometimes it would go to garbled sound and react to tapping, after soldering it's ok. So in case it starts doing it again, change the 75 tube.

Ok. Done. Officially.

PS. Dude, stop buying these.... handicapped radios. They are totally botched and are actually challenging even for those of us who actually know the difference between the caps you charge and the caps you wear Icon_smile Buying a non-working unit someone else tried to fix and failed is buying the result of their ineptitude, which is problem upon problem upon proble. The grid dap was the only problem the guy did not cause himself. All three problems I fixed he introduced. The radio was working before he decded to recap.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
