Another Model K!

[Mark R]

Been having a fiddle with another one of these today, Sir Sydney dropped it off a couple of weeks ago. He said I have a radio for you to fix! When I got it from the car he was crying with laughter............deep joy

cheers Mark

Are you hoping they'll breed?

ADDITIONAL: I've just noticed I'm back to six stars and am a SENIOR Engineer in charge. I'm also only seven posts behind Mark. How the dickens has that happened; I've out-waffled Yorkie.

[Mark R]

They better not Joe!

You will never out waffle Yorkie!

cheers Mark

In posts, perhaps, but not in word count!

Never mind the quality - feel the width

I'm afraid that I've always been better at verbosity than brevity, or as the bard put it:

"He draweth out the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple of his argument".

Too close to the truth for comfort in my case!

He could make a good point, that there Shakespeare fella.
Actually it barely matters what is said as the beauty of his words rings through regardless. Shakespeare, that is, not David. No offence intended, David!

As some posts were reaching 1000 posts, I added the "senior engineer in charge" title a couple of weeks ago,
so as soon as anyone reaches 1000 posts, it is automatically applied,


Cheers Paul.

I thought it must be something like that, Paul, but seemed to recall that Engineer in Charge was as high as the ranks got. I don't suppose that the founders thought much about we rattlers getting up a thousand posts. I'm certainly not complaining.

I came back with some impetus!
Well this is halfway working, I get Radio 5 live on MW and nothing else, there is nothing on LW.

First port of call the dreaded wave-change switch!

It was interesting when I tried the set last night it was dead, today I got the signal injector out switched on and it worked!
I wonder if David's injector has some magical property, or if it is just the authority type thing?

Anyway another on the way to be done.

Well the cleaning of the wave change did little, just got in from work and changed V2 the DF91, as I felt the set was not oscillating properly.

Fortunately I was at Weaveringtonham Towers the other day, and Sir Sydney managed to find a box of D series valves and one was lurking in there.

Now gets R4 on long waves and more stations on MW.

Just need to test it without the tube lights due to interference and make a small adjustment on the volume pot, one of the pins is shorting to the chassis.

Working well on batteries
Listening to R4 LW.

Happy with that, another one fixed!
