<\/b><\/div>\n
S-38E adventure. <\/b><\/div>\n
Replaced antenna input coil BUT — it came from an earlier S-38 and doesn’t resonate. <\/b><\/div>\n
So I bought a junker on e-bay and will take the E model coil out of that one. <\/b><\/div>\n
Had to re-string the dial! And add rosin to it from Maria’s old violin. <\/b><\/div>\n
BFO was not working. Bad buzz sound. <\/b><\/div>\n
So: Re-cap, Re-tube, Re-string, Re-align, Re-build power supply. <\/b><\/div>\n
Shortwave sounds good. Nice to hear music coming from our machines. <\/b><\/div>\n
