I love pictures, so I would not cheat you guys from a few images of my "Create One Perfect BL 7000 from 2 BL7000's" Project :)
What I had was
Number one : Fairly good condition, mint glass plate, mirror-plate very bad, no RDS, back cover scratched, weak back-light, missing 2-way, dead backup battery.
Number two : 2-Way missing, dead backup battery, dead back-light, glass bad, mirror-plate good, back-cover very good, RDS
* Fixed 2-way in both
* New backup battery in both
* New back-light in both
* Changed a transistor and capacitor in number two, to get back-light working
So what I then had was 2 working BL7000's
Then it was just a matter of disassemble both to atoms, and use all good parts for one, and bad parts for the second..
Here are a few pictures of a BL7000 completely disassembled, and then rebuild :) Everything was washed and cleaned, and re-lubricated..
The last picture shows the transistor and capacitor that was changed
So all in all, I am very happy with my project, I now have a very nice condition BL7000 with RDS, and a not so nice version that can be used daily :)
