Hello to all,
I know that Telefunken Radios are a bit off-topic, but I am looking for help with a problem which I suppose is common to all radios.
I got a nice Telefunken OPUS 49 which I corrected a bit electronically and aesthetically (it had lots of bad capacitors and lots of capacitors and resistors of wrong value).
I also changed the rectifier valve and the final amplification valve and connected it to the earth.
The radio lights up nicely and receives stations. However, it only plays when I touch the antenna with my hand. If I leave the antenna the sound is barely audible even with the volume at full.
Would anybody have a suggestion on the type of problem? Is it a valve problem?
The valve lineup is ECH11, EBF11, ECL11, AZ11, EM11. ECL11 and AZ11 have been replaced with new fulling working ones (at least according to the seller).
thanks for any help
Nik
