Repair notes

 

Full repair description and observations

 

1

The noisy volume was fixed instantly by applying contact cleaning spray on the volume and EQ sliders

 

 

2

The tuning problem was due the fact that the tuning string broke and split up. This was joined back by using the 2-knots at end method and mounted it along the pathway for making it tight enough to change the variable tuning capacitor when turning the tuning knob.

 

 

3

Additionally the motor belts were changed and a general service & cleaning was given to the set.
