I have an 1962 early warning reciever/carrier from the cold war and I have modified it discretely to be able to plug a 3.5 jack lead into it and it will play original warnings sounds from my PC. However from advice from this forum and others, it appears the AMPLIFIER circuits are no longer operating properly (the output is very quiet and the volume control hardly increases the output).
With it being a collectable item Id like to ask you learned chaps if you think that it could be repaired by an electronics expert, especially an expert who has the experience to know about older circuits etc etc. When I say repaired I mean repaired in a way that it works well but also still looks cosmetically correct on the inside. ie leaving the existing components in situ and some how hiding away the new ones needed for the repair.
heres what the unit looks like with the covers off to give you chaps an idea of how old the components are. (the upright circuit board is the receiver part of the unit and is no longer in use, so its the lower circuit board (the amplification board that is in need of attention)
I hope the above makes some sense.......Thanks
