Blaupunkt Riviera 2540 USA Part 4

In this final part i finish the paper cap replacement, i re-check all the vacuum tube's voltages and i attempt to repair the dead electrostatic tweeters. I then proceed to replace the Selenium rectifier by rebuilding it with a new Silicon bridge rectifier using a PCB way rectifier board designed by Manuel Caldeira (Electronics Old & New channel). I conclude the series with an attempt to re align both the IF and RF. Will i get this beauty to sing again ?

Wow... well done Ray, what a beautiful radio. It's a pity the electrostatic speakers couldn't be revived, I hope the online replacements work OK. Manuel's rectifier boards worked well 👍🙂

Thank you Dave, electrostatic tweeters not working you say ? Hmm maybe I'll get them to work after all. Stay tune for part 5 you might be surprised...
Again thanks for braving through this whole series, you're my #1 supporter, heck almost the only one lol

Merci Richard, j'ai vraiment eu beaucoup de chance avec cette radio, pour une fois je n'ai pas eu à passer des semaines à restaurer le cabinet. Merci d'être passé Richard :-)
