Well, this completes it.
Today I assembled the radio, after having wiped some real black, real greasy stuff with mineral spirits off the inside of the chassis bottom cover, that alcohol would not remove. Considering the percentage of the open magnetics, I wonder......well, I best not think of that.
It sounds OK. Do I think the 3H 18K turns burnt inductor in the driver stage, replaced by a few hunder mH one and 3K resistor, is part of it? Maybe. It does not sound amazing, but sounds quite acceptable. Plenty of power, volume; this is the 1st radio that, after the alignment, put the local station at the exactly where it should be, 1160 kC. Not even a shred of the small division to the left or the right.
I have a small video, but I stopped posting on youtube a few years ago, and i am not sure where to put those anymore without being sniffed by those bots. Like in "The Matrix". So the photos should suffice for now.
3 months it took me. Willy-nilly. Not bad.
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.
