The first step in restoring this Loewe-Opta Truxa 1701W requires looking closely at the power supply and making any necessary repairs to this section, prior to moving on to other stages of the circuit. The usual problems of old filter caps was sorted out, but here I also decided to replace the selenium rectifier with silicon diodes. Next comes the audio stage, but I decided to do a full re-cap, replacing all the old paper capacitors with good quality foils caps, just to avoid problems with leaky caps on the radio. Does it work? Well, see the video for yourself and find out. Enjoy.
