My Ipod is now connected. I used a Pyle PIDOCK1 with remote control, an isolation transformer ( all ready had it ordered, and it seems to have took care of a hum when the Ipod was touched),and two 1K resistors. I had to plug in to the headphone output of the Ipod, the other output was not amplified enough to work. It's working great, much better than the rf transmitter I was using. No noise, and much better sound quality. Thanks for the help Gunnar, Steve

Thank you

When connecting an IPOD to the phonograph input on my Saba, should I use an audio isolation transformer? Is impedance matching needed? Any other advice is welcome. Thanks, Steve

Zitat: „Tapeworm664 postete What kind of button do you like to cast?“ The push buttons on the Sachsenwerk Olympia, the Aus button is missing, UKW is cracked. I like the advice on the Polyurethane. I thought it would be to soft. DSC05809.jpg Steve

I am going to have to cast a replacement push button. There are several resins to choose from, epoxy, acrylic, and polyester. Has anyone made there own push buttons? What resin is the best? Thanks, Steve

Anyone have a dial string diagram? The string is broken. Thanks, Steve

I made my own blend of wax. I'm happy with it. It is a mix of 1 part Carnauba wax, 2 parts bee's wax, and enough of a good quality turpentine to make it soft enough to work with, at least 3 parts. The it hardens in 2 days to a durable finish. I am adding more turpentine. It seems to be easer to work with as a thick liquid, rather than a paste like shoe polish. Steve

The dieleltric strength of the heat shrink is 15kv/mm, and the wall thickness is .17mm. So it should be good for 2.5 kv. So the shrink tubing should be fine. http://www.minor.co.rs/file/WOER%20Katalog%20buziri.pdf Steve

Zitat: „Tapeworm664 postete Very nice work Steve! The Idea of fitting a block-rectifier into the Siemens-housing is in interesting work. Most members in the forum use single diodes, as the 1N4007 - but you have enough space spared to fit in the capacitors to filter out spikes. “ One more thing, The original rectifier was a full wave bridge, so I replaced it with a full wave bridge.

Most members in the forum use single diodes, as the 1N4007 - but you have enough space spared to fit in the capacitors to filter out spikes. But i have a little point... is the insulating with the shrink-tube really fit for the high tension? At last you have 250 Volts or more here. In similar cases i use two layers of the tube. But i dont want to criticise too …

Finally a coat of wax. I like old things to look there age, so no new finish. DSC05813.jpg

I stuffer the selenium rectifier, with bypass capacitors. 4 amp 1000 volt rectifier, and ,01 uF 1000v caps. DSC05775.jpg DSC05777.jpg DSC05781.jpg DSC05783.jpg DSC05792.jpg DSC05786.jpg

Hi, I have a question about a non-Saba radio. Anyone have a good source of information about Saschenwerk radios? I just got a SACHSENWERK OLYMPIA 59-3W , and I need a schematic. I'm just starting my collection, and I don't think I qualify for radio museum membership. Thanks, Steve DSC05803.jpg

I got it working! K,M,and L now work! :bier:The one thing that I could find that they all had in common was the tuning capacitor. The set screws on the shaft of the capacitor were loose. A simple mechanical problem. I feel stupid not finding that weeks ago. Thanks for the help Gunnar. Steve

Zitat: „Tapeworm664 postete Hi Steve, you seem to get on with the job quite good If you still have trouble on all AM bands, there are first to check: Is the ECH 81 working properly? Please check the voltages according to the scheme (+/- 10% doesn't matter a lot). If switched to any AM band the voltages should be nearly as described in the scheme. If you have another ECH 81, please try to change it. Maybe it's dead. Another reason for defects can be torn wires of the filter coils. They have hair-…

I have been working on replacing the capacitors. I have been replacing a couple at a time, then testing. I have gotten rid of the crackling by replacing 2 capacitors in the key switch in the band width area. I also cleaned the contacts in the key switch assembly with dental tools and fine sand paper. I bought some Deoxit spray, but have not used it yet. The only band that is working is still FM(UK). I want the top of the chassis to look ordinal, so I disconnected the 50/50uf filter cap, and moun…

I scanned the schematic. Steve Saba_Meersburg_WII_a_page_1.jpg

Thank you Gunnar.I still need to make a fixture to support the chassis, so I can work under it. Here are some pictures of the under side of the chassis. Steve DSC05726.jpg DSC05729.jpg

Gunnar, I tried it today, and it works on UK. :bier:The tuning eye is hard to see, but works. On Breit, there is some crackling noise. Schmal sounds good, no crackling. The other bands just have noise. I will take some pictures of the under side of the chassis later today. I need to identify the capacitors that I need to replace, and may be clean some switch contacts. Thanks for the help. Steve
