faulty Signal R532 - any help/repairs?
Dear All,
I have a Signal R532 (A classic!) scanner and it has gone faulty. It powers
up ok and the display and all buttons work fine, it just seems not to tune.
I can change the frequency display with the buttons but this appears to have
no effect on the frequency of operation. I can hear some stations but the
level is very quiet.
It could be out of alignment? I have had the covers off and it looks like
some of the tuning slugs on the coils have been twiddled (not by me!)
I bought it off EBay and was Sold as Seen as I have wanted to add one of
these to my collection.
If anyone can fix it for me there is money waiting!!
I phoned Castle Electronics but they said they were unable to repair these
as parts no longer available and they don't have the schematics
Thanks for any help/suggestions/offers
