Hi all.
thought I would share. Currently working on a DOA Discolite.
Restoration going ok but still some issues to sort.
so far, tapes cleaned, new belts and working well. Cleaned all
Sliders and switches. Radio sort of works but FM not that great, lots of noise and when you do get a stereo station tuned in,
the volume is not that loud.
lots of issues with the lights
completely stripped down the LED boards removed all dodgy wiring and have replaced all LEDs with new. Also replaced all grain of rice bulbs.
lighting board, had dead short due to fried TDA2822M chip. Got another butthat has an issue with 2shorted pins, think the grain of rice bulbs may be too much current so have ordered some more, also getting dodgy readings on the 555 timer chip so ordered some of this as well.
have managed to get the LEDs working but only standard flash and not changing with the music, hoping to new chips will sort that out.
Re sprayed the speaker grills and refitted the plastic front panel as it was bubbles up.
still work in progress. Here as some pictures
Would love to hear from
Anyone who had similar issue with FM radio and what you did to fix it. Thanks
