Lowe HF-150
#8

Done! Pics later. My keypad works after a bit of troubleshooting. One issue was a reversed diode (no power to the chip). I'm sure I checked that little fellow more than once, and must have flipped him around while trying to bend the leads to the right pitch. Then I had a bit of trouble with connections between the key switch matrix and the main board - showing up as a lost row or column on the "telephone" dial.

Honestly, this is the last time I ever use Vero-board (perforated copper strip board). The stuff I have seemed to hate solder, but would happily allow bridges to form between tracks. Very frustrating, and little issues with this added a lot of time today.

However, of course I didn't give up - especially as this is a project for a good little British radio, born just over in the next county from where I grew up. It is great to be able to tap in a frequency (or recall a memory) with this neat accessory, and my repro seems to work happily on either of my Lowe sets Icon_smile

Cheers
