Restoring a 1960 Austrian 7-transistor MW/LW radio. From https://www.abetterpage.com/wt/euro/EumigOkay.html I have several projects that I've not been following through. Here's another one. It's a 1960 transistor radio with the MW and LW bands, which at the time would have had a good coverage of programming in Central Europe. A contemporary review noted the cheap price and the good value for the money. Now the LW, which is mainly a European band, is practically dead, with the MW dying. If I can't get any actual stations, I have the signal generators. Some notes: -the construction is weirdly complicated, as if the designers had not yet clearly understood that the PCB is for making things sit nice and straight. There's a large number of jumper wires at odd places. The small signal AF part is an absolute traffic jam. I used 1/8W resistors in the rebuild for that part. I could have used them everywhere for the small power rating there is in the set, but the looks woul...
