LW,MW, VHF. 9 Transistors
Release date August 1961 cost £22/9/- plus tax Requires 1 PP9 battery Working. |
Not working when I got it. Fault traced to a short on one of the transistors. The AFxxx series of transistors has a fourth leg (screen). This often shorts internally, "killing" the set. I like to fold the insulation on the leg back as far as possible and then cut the wire so that a stub is left on the chassis. The insulation is removed and 2mm of wire cut off the leg. Slide the insulation over the leg and the stub. Looks original.
The cabinet has been cleaned with washing up liquid and polished. This one is used every day.
Very similar to the earlier TR82 but with VHF up to 100MHz
