MCL2E gone to the states. List in first post updated. Martin

After about 3 or 4 minutes, the set suddenly went quiet. I quickly pulled the power plug but while reaching for the plug I did notice that the dial was still lit and the magic eye still indicated a strong station. Hmmm.... A double check using a nearby Beomaster proved that the radio station I was listening to was now only transmitting silence. Pheew

Those who didn't qualify : - Two fuse holding clamps - oxidated (The fuse glass shattered so the fuse is not pictured) - Two resistors - one well done, one medium rare - Two capacitors - one disabled and one ready to go off anytime - Two dial lamps - switch on and it will become darker - One ceramic capacitor - can be used as a 620 Ohm resistor

Bottom and rear covers fitted. The JET 606 was then powered up and its wonderful warm sound enjoyed. Martin

Hej, Det vil virke helt OK. Beomaster 5500 er bygget til at trække højttalere i flere rum samtidigt og så længe du kun har to par tilsluttet, går det fint. Martin

I can probably find the plastic frame. Martin

The polarity does not matter much if you use a dipol arial but I chose to go with one red and one black. Martin

With the last knob fitted the chassis was now ready to mount back in the cabinet. The leads were soldered back onto the speakers at the baffle and the chassis secured using the original screws that were cleaned off rust and dirt. The built-in FM antenna has the form of two large pieces of alu foil glued to the inside of the cabinet. Leads soldered to

It's a bit difficult to say why P-valves and E-valves were mixed. They are very similar but still there are differences. The PCC85 does not demand as high as anode voltage as f.e. ECC85 which may make the P-valve the most attractive for this set. The heater voltage is also a little different but since the dropper resistor compensates for this, that

Wow yes, that would be appropriate. The now empty cabinet got a once-over with a little polish to make it shine again. Martin
