48-1270 restoration in progress
#10

Hi PL, Thanks for the replies and info. I don't have any experience in this field, unfortunately, but I am a fast learner. I am generally pretty good at figuring things out on my own ( I have a funny "common sense" that way ), but my common sense this time told me I'd better get help on this or I was going to screw this up. Icon_mrgreen So I am all ears and open minded on this project. I just received a good copy of a photo fact pamphlet with a good, readable parts list, well labled pictures of the chassis and parts, and scamattics. Before I go any further, I will be studying this and working on my "vocabulary" to better understand the help we do get and greatly appreciate. Icon_smile I did find a local radio repair man that stocks all the tubes I will need. He may also be able to get some other parts I may need....Hopefully. I see in other posts mentioning different types of testers they use. I do have a decent multimeter that measures AC and DC volts and amps and ohms. What else will we need? I know this a pretty tall order, but I am more of a hands on, If I see it I can understand it kind of guy v.s. a read and understand scamattics kind of guy. So it would benefit me a great deal if I could see a picture of the opened back side of a complete 48-1270 to go off of. But I'm not waiting on this by any means. I've been studying the scamattics and parts list trying to make heads or tails of it. It'll come eventually. Thanks again for your help and I'll be back.

Hi Richard, thanks for your reply on the phono hook up. I am apperantly missing the "impedance matching transformer". I was wishing on luck that all the parts were here on this thing.. go figure. Icon_lol I'm going through the diagrams, parts list, and scamattics to see what else I may be missing. Thanks again, I'm sure I'll be back on here soon with more questions.

Jim.
