From: Peter Kolbe on 13 Mar 2010 16:56 Hi All. The set has quite a few wax caps, will work on changing them. I will actually scope the thing tomorrow to check what is happening. I am getting quite a few signals with only 5ft of cable as an antenna (one signal I definately identified as 700Km away in johannesburg) once I have recapped the set, and figured out how exactly the dial cable goes back, then I will try with a longer antenna. I have not found a manual for this set, but I found the manuals for some other pyc sets that have a similar tuning dial layout and cabling, so I will work from that I do not know what impedance speaker is supposed to be on this set (only got the chassis, not the cabinet), but I am currently using 1 side of a computer speaker set (not the amplifier, just the speaker itself) When I power the set up tomorrow, I will try and record the sound it is producing and post that. This is the first tube set I have ever worked on, so I was surprised that it is actually in a working condition off the bat. The tubes are all originals, with the numbers clearly visible, and also the nameplate says what the tube numbers are.
