The european markings tio capacitors are easy to understand, For example: 10k = ,01mf , 50k = .05, 4k7 = .0047 (.005) and so on. The small ones like 100pf = 100E. I notice that you could not find the right string setup. So, if you want I have the complete service manual with all necessarty info. Meyer

sounds good quality, are those russian tubes?

This is actually a Tenma from MCM Electronics, it's probably a 1980's model.

Is that a Data Precision Capacitance Meter? I've been wanting to get a Capacitance Meter.

Thanks! Yes everything looks different from American components, even the tubes except the 6BQ5 are a different base type than the usual US 9-pin type.

I remember back in the 60s when there was Radio Free Europe crossing the "iron curtain", with jamming, Russian/Cuban propaganda, Radio Luxemburg, BBC, Voice of America, etc., SWL was way kewl back then, and I had a Blaupunkt to pull them in too! now it is China, some Europe, and religious stuff.

A British collector told me there were two schools of radio design and servicing--"There's Philips....and then there's everyone else...." :-)

Neat radio, European radios are always interesting looking. You usually see something done differently too. The radio sound great, very nice.

i have a 1948 philips my great grandpa bought new in aruba. it needs capacitors and the cord that moves the indicator is frayed and needs to be replaced.

Yes I will, I was just testing to make sure the chassis fit back in the cabinet OK. I need to re-install the dial pointer too. |
