Just bought a Minette 512K Radio

9 replies

This is my first post, I have just bought a Minette 512K Radio and I hooked up a 220v transformer and it worked both on AM & FM.

I does have a problem that there is a loud hum with no audio sound and when the volume control is turned up to 3/4 the sound comes on and the hum dissapears, but the volume is then too loud. If the volume control is moved from this one position then the audio is lost then the loud hum comes back.

Does anyone know where I could get a circuit diagram from.

Thanks

Graham

 

You need to talk to Martin - Dillen on site. Where are you based?

Peter,

How do I get in touch with Martin

 

Graham

through PM in the upper right corner.

Not sure what you mean by PM, can't find it.

Are yoy signed in?

If you are, click on the word "inbox" in the upper right corner.

Then write a PM to Dillen.

 

This is a beautiful radio very difficult to find! Please let us know of the steps of its restoration. I am sure too that Martin (Dillen) can help you in this task.
It would be great if you could post a photo of yours?
This one is unfortunately not mine but that of the Struer Museum! 😁

Hi Marc, I'm attaching a couple of Photos (not sure if I have downloaded correctly) of the Minette 512k and also a Jet 506 that I have also bought.

the Radio seems to be in good shape and works on FM and AM eccept for the loud hum, I'm looking for a Circuit diagram so that I can check some voltages.

I live in Toronto Canada so there is a 5 hr time difference
