HRO 50T Arrived a few days ago looking a little tired from all those years. Spent 24 hours bringing up voltage, Then turned each of the knobs several times. Sound but nothing recognizable, maybe A real challenge?? I only have basic tools and iron. Pulled the tubes, and took them a friend in the club for testing, all tested good. Not what I wanted? So dove into the bottom," humm" this transformer is loose, oh a broken wire, solder applied, replaced tubes, did a little cleaning, plugged it back in. Twisted all the knobs a couple of times and "RADIO HAVANA" with some hot latin music blasting through the shack!!! Best sound I have gotten for
200 clams. I am screaming through the house…I am the MAN…The Radio Man…The hear Havana Radio Man. The family doesn't understand….but I think this is Really…Really enjoyable!!!!
