LAFAYETTE KT-340 COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER KT340 HA-230 HA230 SHORTWAVE

This Lafayette KT-340 Communications Receiver is electrically the same as the
HA-230. It was in a terrible state when I bought it. However, after many hour's work, it's taken pride of place in my workshop.

Frequency coverage 0.5kHz to 30mHz

Circa 1960s

Lafayette Service Manual HERE

I'm a radio amateur and I love tuning around the short wave bands. When this Lafayette came my way, I decided to use it in the workshop for listening to short wave broadcast stations. Here are a few of the many repairs I carried out... Replace both dial drive cords, two valves, and mains lead. Completely realign IF and all RF stages. Replace several capacitors and burnt up resistors... And the list goes on.

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.
