BUSH IF TRANSFORMER BROKEN CORES
BUSH I.F. TRANSFORMER PROBLEMS

This type of IF transformer, which was used in many of the early Bush radios, has an inherent problem - the dust iron cores either break or become detached from the brass adjustment studs. Removing the transformer from the aluminum can is bad enough, and effecting a repair is a lengthy process and quite a fiddle. I use Araldite to glue the cores onto the brass studs. Obviously, they must be perfectly lined up and held in place while the glue sets.

 

 


READ THIS IMPORTANT WARNING NOTICE

ONLY BUY A RESTORED RADIO FROM A COMPETENT RADIO ENGINEER
ONLY HAVE YOUR RADIO REPAIRED BY A COMPETENT RADIO ENGINEER

Many early mains radios have a live chassis. That means that the metal work inside the radio may be LIVE (connected to the mains) and it can KILL YOU if you come into contact with it. Exposed screws or any other metal work on the outside of the cabinet or fascia of the radio must be checked for safety by a competent engineer.

DO NOT CONNECT ANY EXTERNAL WIRING TO ANY SOCKETS ON YOUR RADIO UNLESS THE RADIO HAS BEEN CHECKED AND CERTIFIED AS SAFE BY A QUALIFIED ENGINEER

If in any doubt, consult a qualified radio engineer.
