Has anyone worked on this radio? I’m looking for English language service details, stringing diagram for the ‘ferroceptor’ drive, and some advice about the cabinet, which appears to be Bakelite with a lacquer coating. The coating creates the appearance of grained wood, but is scratched. Got it going yesterday and the performance is quite impressive.
Thanks, Lawrence

Thanks, Lawrence — Seems no one is familiar with this Dutch import, but no worries, problems all solved. I’m in the process of translating the Dutch article in the NZVRS archive. I worked out how to string the ‘ferroceptor’, and have a rough diagram in case anyone has a similar problem. This is basically a ferrite rod aerial which can be rotated via a front-panel knob. I thought this device was a bit superfluous, but it turns out to be really useful in separating out close stations on the (now) crowded medium wave band. I sorted the cabinet problem by removing the degraded lacquer and cleaning and polishing the bakelite. My model (pictured) has odd knobs on the right. Does anyone have knobs matching those on the left? Diameter 35 mm, standard spindle size.  |
