Hi,
I'm new here. I just bought a Saba Meersburg W2. I plan on recapping it soon.
If anyone can give me some tips, this will be my first restoration project. To remove the chassis, is there anything special I need to know? I assume the string for the frequency pointer is all part of the chassis?
Also, I know about ramping up the ac voltage to break it in. Would setting the voltage selector to 240 vac, but only using 110 vac, have the same effect as using a variac transformer? Is there an instruction manual available that explains the function of the controls?
Here are some pictures.
Thanks,
Steve
