Does anyone have ANY kind of service info on this thing? Ive been able to find two different schematics on it, one incomplete and one not very legible. This poor radio was modified somehow in the past, ( heard that was common ), and im trying to get it to come back to life at factory specifications again. Trimmer capacitors were added, the ferrite core in the tuning coil was broken and VERY much a PITA to remove, and some flaky hodgepodge wiring and soldering was attempted. Im trying to reverse all of this mess. Ive built a battery pack for the H.V. And L.V. And was able to get it to kind of receive. It was transmitting in the receive setting and dead in the transmit setting. Someone rigged a very low value electrolytic capacitor in it where both sides were going to ground with a H.V. Wire connected too.... Needless to say that cap blew smelly green "cheese" everywhere.
HELP??
ANY info is MUCH appreciated. Im going crazy scouring the internet for information that just doesnt seem to be there. If anyone has some info they would like to share with me, that would be great! I have plenty of test equipment and about fifteen years electronics servicing going for me, but not having proper documentation or a comparison radio is leaving me stuck.
Thanks in advance!!
I cant seem to get pictures loaded, but if i figure it out ill provide them for reference.
