[Premium-Rx] WJ-8888

Hello Dave,

Just to let you know it definitely wasn't me. I bid up to a limit. But the fact that the fuse holder was missing rang alarm bells for me - possibly SC transformer, which is not uncommon on these radios after the fan fails.

The offer still stands ref your PCBs - I'm quite willing to test in a working Q8 of mine. I still have one open on the bench right now, with just analogue faults only, so no dismantling needed. But bear in mind no two Q8s appear to have all the same PCBs anyway - I have access to 4 here, and around 70% of them are interchangeable. Same applies to the schematics. I have a strong suspicion that WJ were feeling their way with this technology as there are so many changes and inconsistencies.
Let me know off list if I can help.

Richard

Hi All,

A bit of a long shot here, but a request for some possible cooperation from UK members.
I'm wondering if any group members have just brought the quad eight on Ebay.

I was in the running but lost out. I already have a quad eight, but it has a nasty fault on it that has eluded me for the last three years. It has a control fault somewhere between the front panel control register, receiver control register, or program sequencer.

What I am hoping to do is meet up with the buyer of this ebay receiver and use the two receivers to resolve both the fault on my unit, and the fault on the ebay unit.

So my question is, is the buyer of the Ebay unit a premium RX member, and if so are they interested im meeting up and resolving both sets of issues.

If so please get in touch off list.

Cheers,
Dave. S.
