Automatic tuning leads to IF alignment, leads to frustration. SABA Meersburg 100 restoration part 4

Electronics Old and New by M Caldeira

description

Sometimes these restorations just drive me crazy. The automatic tuning was not working on this Saba Meersburg, so I tackled the entire motor circuit to try to restore its function. The main cause of the problem was quite easy to resolve, but then another issue cropped up: it would not seek in one direction. So, and IF alignment was deemed a logical nest step, only to prove to be absolutely useless as regards the tuning. Drives me crazy, and yet I love it! Hope you do too.
