Cossor 524 Melody Maker radio Pt 07

A revisit to this radio, as I discovered the cause of the distortion on the audio - and I admit I was wrong when I guessed it was down to the output valve! It works well now, and is definitely satisfactory, even if it's not factory...

Good catch. Coincidentally Don has just posted a video on correcting a similar issue but there are many such out there. Maybe a project for the long cold summer days? 🤣

Sounds good, thanks Tim 😀

Thanks Mike. Sometimes I overlook the obvious!

Tim: Congrats on finding that issue. Funny but just yesterday a channel called "RestoreOldRadios" (recommended) posted a video on correcting a rubbing coil on an otherwise pristine speaker. Looks like a lot of very careful work to re-center the cone.
Since you're unlikely to use that original speaker as it is - it might well be worth the time spent to investigate a repair?

Yes, Joe. I may give it a try, as it would be a 'Nothing to lose' experiment. Thanks for watching.
