Hi Fellas! Have been working little by little on my 10B restoration after successfully powering her up back in March. Progress so far has been made in the wafer switches. I found a NOS "Mode" switch on eBay and I was able to transfer the wafers from the "Display" and "Muting" controls to new mechanical assemblies. The "power" switch had to be recreated to mimic the original. I found a close sub but the wafer had to be replaced to obtain the two poles required. The dial glass miraculously cleaned up quite nicely with no missing lettering! I obtained a new front panel reproduction that looks great. I found suitable replacements for the four smaller knobs but the tuning knob is unobtainum. I will reuse the tarnished original tuning knob for now. Looking much better now! I still need to replace some bad potentiometers, all three opto-couplers and re-stuff the filter cans with modern miniature electrolytics Stay tuned... |
