Another one completed

The Bush DAC90A is finally complete and on its way to a new home.

The final fault that had to be sorted was a duff volume control, which cut out at a point around three quarters from full volume.

No amount of cleaning made it any better, even after I stripped the pot down to expose the track. Luckily I had was able to get a similar potentiometer for £3, which had the added advantage of an insulating plastic shaft.

The audio distortion I noticed earlier was cured by giving the speaker a really good clean to dislodge a load of dirt and muck that had built up between the chassis and cone.  There were also a couple of tears in the speaker cone which required a bit of glue to stop them tearing further.

After a good clean and polish of the case it looked great, and ready for many more years use.

More radio recycling tales will follow soon.

Keep listening!
