Australian Transistor Radio

[Alan Merritt]

My indigenous "Kriesler" trannie works well, and typically of the time is quite big! It has a leather case and a cast metal front so it's not really the type that can be slipped into the shirt pocket.

Apart from wiring in a plug for a transformer, I've not touched a thing and I've really only had experience with valve tuners before

The only problem is that it won't tune into any stations below about 800khz. It will tune all above this, but any lower results in a crackle, then silence. I've looked at the tuning apparatus, and all seems to be well - nothing bent, or touching where it shouldn't be,

Any advice as to what I should look at/for? I'd like to get the leather handle fixed, and polish the whole thing up as it would look a treat.

Cheers from summery Australia!
