Blaupunkt Riviera 2643 - no sound!
Hello to all!
I recently picked up the above table radio off eBay. 1960 vintage I believe. As beautiful as it is, unfortunately it came to me in less-beautiful condition. The case is cracked in 2 corners and there is no sound. I replaced the main fuse and I get dial lights and some glowing tubes but no sound/static at all on any function...even from an iPod through the aux input. Only the faintest hum when you put your ear right up to the full-range speaker. There do not appear to be any obviously-broken leads or connections....except for one thin wire on the ferrite bar. A tube radio repairman suggested I am not getting B+ voltage to the tubes and that I should check the power resistors in the power supply. Unfortunately I do not know how to identlfy/test them. I also understand this can be dangerous. The radio has not been powered on in weeks though. Any suggestions on how to get some life out of this beautiful radio would be appreciated! The seller refunded all my money so all I have in it is $2 for the fuse! Thanks Steve Last edited by thisismyyear; 05-04-2015 at 06:02 AM. Reason: missing info |
