Adding A Bluetooth Module To A Bush DaC90A

I spent 4 years working with the N1500.

Testing tape at 3M.

Don't forget the first practical domestic VTR, the 1500.

I remember servicing those Meccano sets! But mostly schools & colleges that couldn't afford U-matics.

Or the first practical audio cassette (RCA had one nearly 5 years earlier and the the Lear Jet 8 track was later and has loads of problems).

Excellent Battery AM/FM portable valve sets, first with DC90 from about Jan 1953, then with the DF97, triodised as VHF mixer Osc. Netherlands, Sweden & Germany. Some "World" AM/HF valve portable sets possibly better than the more famous Zenith.

A crazy "D-Pad" like controller as single control for most of the radio functions.

Really complicated dual wire tuning "cords".

Glass cored coils.

Compact Disc, with Sony.

One of the earliest eink display panels, but they sold it off!

My Philips V5A works OK on medium waves, not so good on long waves and totally silent on the short waveband.                                                                                               
Tried another FC4 frequency changer valve, but still no results on SW.
The HT smoothing capacitors will need replacing. Smoothers apart, the only component replaced is the coupling capacitor between the TDD4 audio amplifier and the PENA4 output valve.
Even the HT rectifier looks to be the original Philips 1821.

Hi David nice that your Philips V5A is working ok .Are you going to stuff the original smoothing cans with modern components ? will feature my power supply  when I get back from holiday.  With the smoothing capacitors you have kindly recreated as my original cans  were lost over 50 years ago with the horrible repair carried out. Is the coupling capacitor C23 on the trader sheet  the one that has been replaced is the one TDD4 and the PENA4  on your set . The Mazda UU5 rectifier valve in my power supply as you say Can't be in a Philips radio and will be replaced  with Phillips 1821when testing of the power supply is complete kind regards Bob
