Hacker Sovereign - no FM.

[Yorkie]

Many thanks for your prompt, helpful and comprehensive reply Mark.

I do have the Vintage Radio Data DVD which appears to have the full range of Hacker manuals.

With regard to your excellent and well researched article about transistors Mark, have you offered that to Carl Glover (Editor) for possible inclusion in the BVWS Bulletin?  I'm sure it would be very well received.  I always smile when people say things like: "I don't touch modern stuff with  'three-legged fuses' - only vintage stuff with valves".  Many transistor sets are fifty years old or more, and overlapped the valve era for several years, so I'd assert that they fit comfortably within the definition of 'vintage radio'.

I'm visiting my son at the weekend, so I'll take a quick look at the radio to see which model it is and if it's anything obvious, but I don't really want to bring it home and be obligated to repair it as I've so many other things on the go.

I'll let you know if I make any headway.!
