REAL radios glow without smoke.

Yaesu FT-707 quick test after repairs... Was a dead receiver and PLL out of lock.

The repaired Otari MX-5050. Power supply and control board faults all now good. Lube and calibration done.

Testing the Marantz 3800 Pre-Amp after repair and replacement of an obsolete op-amp chip with a home made modern chip plugin.. Checkout the gallery pics...

Using the repaired MX-5050 as audio source

Working on a Yaesu FT-200. Receiver fault, ALC fault, dead transmitter and a general alignment followed by an on-air test

Yaesu FT-101E after receiver repair and faulty noise blanker repair. Note the noise floor at +10dB/9 until noise blanker switched on drops the floor to S1 and you can hear the station in the distance comes up to S9 from nearly unreadable.

Before and after for a TEAC A3340 deck. Bad switches, dead bearings, dry oil and grease turned to glue are just a few of this machines problems. But with time all comes back to full working order again.

4 Channel testing time. TEAC A3440 in record to lay down a track, then TEAC A3340 to play the track back and compare audio levels and quality...

All videos here shot with a crappy phone camera... Enough said!

Revox B225 high end early model CD player proving the manual wrong...

This can play some CDRs and can run longer than 74mins..

See revox_cd page

Saja Export Mk5 tape player circa 1958...

Restoration completed with a quick blast of it playing alone and with external amplifier...

Audio is a bit rough as it was too load for the phone recording the video.
