TELEFUNKEN Opus Studio 5650 MX
Years:
Date of purchase: 2010 purchased on ebay.
Maintenance experience: from ebay purchased this 5650 tube radio, the distance from far Germany to China by sea, adrift on the road 20 days to arrive in Harbin, China.

Seller packaging is not professional, not necessary protective measures, together with on rough handling during transport, this beautiful radio arrived in China when they were smashed. All chassis broke, tube all broke, broke amplifier part of the circuit board. Looked so miserable situation very atmosphere.

I used 2012 in 2010, two years to study how to restore his original appearance.
First Radiomuseum.org download telefunken5650MX and 2650 all 13 drawings, 5650 drawings part unclear, had with the 2650 drawings. The two machines are basically the same. - To radiomuseum.org thanked this website my radio obsolete. It is because of these drawings before my radio to re-issue a pleasing sound.
2 installed for all tube, and is the original ECC85 ECH81, EF89 ECF80 EM87.
3. Replacement the three filter capacitor c101.c102.c110 three 50uF electrolytic capacitor, the voltage reaches the normal of the respective tubes.

This time powered up, the normal circuit, indicator lights, speakers issued to the rustle of the hum. Plug in the antenna connected to the horn, the maximum volume found Problems: radio to receive the radio, but the U segment two-channel sound small M medium-and short-wave station.
Solve the problem of a small voice, I focus on the voltage amplifier and power amplifier part. Since the the radio voltage amplifier and power amplifier section are transistor design, the tube section. So I replaced all the electrolytic capacitors of the two parts of 14 voltage amplifier and voltage of the amplifier portion of the recovery to normal.
5 in accordance with the drawings re-winding wires, tuning button to return to normal.
6 amplifier part broke the circuit board re-welded.
Long repair process finally completed the preliminary repairs, power on, the radio sends a wonderful voice.
But the sound did not reach the best, the most important radio shell, I was thinking how to restore, and also help you Who chassis drawings, I was continuing its efforts ...
I took some pictures please netizens maintenance appreciate.
