Magnavox Model FM-43 AM/FM/FM-AFC Radio Issues
Greetings everyone, yesterday I found a late 1950s early 1960s vintage Magnavox Model FM-43 AM/FM/FM-AFC "High Fidelity" tabletop radio at a local antique mall for $25 and it had the typical 60 HZ hum due to bad filter caps, which I was able to replace with modern radial lead aluminum electrolytic caps and then I replaced 2 paper caps (which is all it had in it paper cap wise, the rest of the caps were all of the ceramic disc type).
I powered up the radio to test it out, and the tuning dial was way off on both AM and FM bands, on the FM band one of the local 50kW FM Stations which has a frequency of 104.7 MHz was showing up at around 99.7 MHz on the dial, and on the AM Band the local Gospel Station which is at 1270 kHz on the AM Band was showing up at around 1070 AM on the dial. I need to do an alignment on this radio, but the only service information I could find on this radio is Sams Photofact 670-6, which I don't have access to, and I would rather not pay the $15, plus tax for a digital download. If someone on here has an original copy of the Sams Photofact 670-6 that they could scan and send me, I would appreciate it. Thanks! Last edited by vortalexfan; 03-03-2021 at 08:21 PM. |
