What Do you have in test equipment We would need to know, to help.
Do you have any electronics education?

You may need to explore for books in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

There are huge references such as Riders books on servicing and also schematics.
The same with Sams Books and Beitmans servicing books and schematics too.

Do you have electronic tools if so list what you have. Because If We help, without knowing whats needed for the task(s) involved. We might not what methods to inform you with. Kinda Like The Blind Leaded the Blind, euphemism.

Many of us are Ham Radio operators also.

Great success rate on the repairs. Reading schematics can be very confusing, especially as the symbols have changed over the years, especially on the early schematics. Also European symbols can be different, as well as terminology. It took me time to get the symbols figured out when I started.

Hello all
Obviously new here. 
I've been playing with tube radios for about 5 years. I have been about 80% successful with my repairs but some still elude me. I finally just started understanding how to read schematics, still a little rough around the edges but getting there. I will be asking questions soon and I hope someone can help me. Thanks  for letting me join.

Hello everyone. I found this forum because I was searching for parts on Google. My hobby is vintage audio. Mostly from the seventies and eighties but for a short time als tube radio´s. I just love the sound of them. I have 2 radio´s what kind of works but both needs a restauration. I have a few others wich are broken. 
Because my financial situation is bad and will not improve in the future, I had to think ahead. So I started to collect cheap testing gear and also parts. My idea is to restore my own and keep it running forever. Learning electronics is not that easy for me but I start to understand it better every day.
