Solving a Common Problem on the Eton/Grundig Satellit 750 - Reverse Polarity Damage.

Electronics Old and New by M Caldeira

description

The Eton Satellit 750, which is practically identical to the Grundig Satellit 750 and the Tucson s2000, seems to suffer from a common problem that can cause damage to the radio. This occurs when a center positive DC jack is accidentally plugged into the external power socket, which is wired for center negative. This socket is used to allow for battery or external power. Finding a solution to this problem can be difficult, especially since there is no service manual available on the web. However, in this video, I'll be showing you how to solve this common problem and get your Eton/Grundig Satellit 750 back up and running. I'll also be discussing the voltage regulator, which can be hard to find, but I was able to find an alternative component. This video is perfect for anyone who has the same issue with their Eton/Grundig Satellit 750 and wants to learn how to solve it. So if you're looking for a solution to this common problem, be sure to watch this video. We hope you find it helpful!
