Hello Everyone, so I bit the bullet, and decided to tackle the job, (well, you don't learn by other people doing the repairs for you)
So after a 200 mile round trip to collect a grundig TK830 that was working, set about to tackle the job,
so progress so far, is a good clean, a few checks with the meter, and replacement of the drive belts scavenged from the donor deck,
so now I hope to set to work on replacing the horrible brown capacitors today, most of them are showing signs of distress, either cracked or flaking, but feel a lot happier now, as it looks a lot better after a good clean, will keep you posted as to progress or will ask advice as needed,
Bye for now
