Hi All,
After a few rechecks and amendments!! (one the things I discovered that the lead from R16 was attached to the 250v side of R17 - I changed this to the 230v side) the radio is working.
Lots of smoke from the mains dropper (R17) as this does appear to be quite new (thanks Rob T).
However, I noted that the dial lights were not working yet the set was?? These were 3.5v 200ma lamps instead of 150ma lamps. I swapped some lamps from another DAC90a which had 12v 0.1amp bulbs in it and these lit up albeit like cigarette ends - very dim! Is ther anything I can do to use the 3.5v 200ma lamps?
Thanks
Rob
