Just arrived today in
decent condition. Reported to receive FM, no AM and no electrostatic
speaker action. This unit will be fully tested and an estimate of restoration
generated. The ECH81 has a weak triode section. It has been
replaced.
Fresh out of the shipping carton.
Existing plastic damage.
Typical rough finish.
Crispy Critter (the little one). This resistor supplies B+ to the
converter stage. Perhaps the weak ECH81 took this resistor
out.
Cut FM dipole antenna.
To be glued.
Top IF slugs were way out of alignment. Some one played
around? Perhaps some one tried to compensate for that weak ECH
triode section or that crispy critter resistor.
Selenium bridge replaced with four 1N4007 diodes.
60 year old (brown) foam rubber turned into dust.
One of two rebuilt electrostatic tweeter installed.
