Cursitor Doom <curd@notformail.com>: Dec 03 12:54PM I've had this great old classic radio for the best part of 40 years and it's always sounded great on the FM/VHF band until recently. Now I'm finding it increasingly difficult to tune-in properly, even with strong stations. It just sounds a bit scratchy like it's off-frequency slightly. The usual leeway I got with tuning a station has gone; it has to be dead- on yet it's still not quite right. Speech can often sound totally fine, but when there's a musical interlude the problem suddenly becomes apparent again. Is this symptomatic of it needing a re-alignment? I can't think what else could be causing it, but since I've never experienced such a problem before, I'm really pretty much in the dark here. Any ideas?       -- This message may be freely reproduced without limit or charge only via the Usenet protocol.

Any ideas?   If you do start twiddling IF Tx cores , mark the angle and measure the depth of each, making up a little nut and screw "depth gauge" and only try 1 at a time , so you can get back to where you started from. Another consideration, any ceramic resonator filters perhaps not 40 years back, the silver inside can migrate over the resonator edges and make them go ohmic, losing selectivity

Maybe even more expensive than fiberoptics. I don't know how old ethernet hardwire technology is.

I have checked the solder around the volume control and resoldered them all and cleaned the control with a contact/lube spray and still nothing. What is wrong with it??? What can I do to check for the problem? Any advice will be welcomed!!!   > Serge   If you didn't manage to fix it so far, adding a resistor from pot centre tap to ground should sort it. Value = apx half the resistance of the pot.     NT

jurb6006@gmail.com: Dec 02 11:23AM -0800 Quickest way to see if it is AT or ATX is that the AT type has a hard power switch, that is it actually turns off the AC going to the power supply. The ATX type has a soft power switch which connects to the motherboard.
