[NJARC] Radio Repair

[Martin Friedman]

Hi Thomas
 I used to be like Your "guy in Syracuse"  Who would "get them working". The
problem is that now a days  this no longer will do. That is why your radios'
performance is deteriating. Lots of leaky caps are causing these symptoms. A
full recap and repair can get pretty expensive especially if you have to
ship it both ways. You missed the rescheduled clinic on Feb 19.

Friends,

      I have a number of old radios that work less and less well all of the
time.  The was a guy in Syracuse New York who would get them working as the
problems were often simple, i.e. dry capacitors , dirty switches or dead
tubes.  He is not available any longer.

      What I am trying to do is find some one who is capable and interested
in repairing old tube radios.  I contacted this club and was advised to
attend a radio repair clinic which I made arrangements for but it was
canceled and I don't see another on the calendar.

      If I have to learn radio repair I will.  If you have any suggestions
where I could do this I would appreciate hearing from you.  
In the mean time I would like to get these sets operational sometime soon.

      Any advice would be most appreciated.  There aren't many radiophiles
here in Cape May

Thanks again,

Thomas Schorr
