Hacker Aviemore

[Cave Miner]

I have recently acquired a Hacker Aviemore radio. Not explored much but the AF stage is very strong however all radio signals on all bands are very quite. Looking for a schematic before investigating further. Has anyone experienced this fault?

On AM, FM or both?

This set has a shared IF strip, unlike most of the Sovereign sets, so there are components in common.

I posted the schematics here: http://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/showpost.php?p=408246&postcount=3

Remember, beware of the Lockfit (if your set has them - most didn't).

Hope this helps,

Thanks, for your quick response, now down to signal tracing, IF stage seems most likely. Will get back later when I have more data.
