Update on 2270

Well i've been listening to the Radio alot, since my 2270's tuner section, mysteriously started working the night before last, i'd have to say the Gyro-Touch Tuning, is quite something, it seams to be really sensitive & get good reception, with my homemade amplified Antenna, the tuner probably need to be calibrated, after all it is 36 years old & needs alot of TLC.  

I'm still working on building a really good antenna, the one i have set up now, works good, but i'm looking for a signal amp, with a FM Trap, i'm also look for something to amp AM signals, there are so many different types of antennas on the market & so many you types you, can build on your own, for really cheap, dipoles antenna seam to work very well.

Weird Night!

Wow the weirdest, thing just happened, My 1973 marantz 2270 receiver's, dead tuner section just, started working out of the blue!, i was going to play a cd & thought i turned it to Aux, when i turned the volume up i heard AM Static, the tuner section never worked when i got, back in 03, its just plain weird!.....

I got the receiver from a friend's brother, he had gotten it from a friend, who said there was a short in a wire, i never found the supposed short, the last time i had it open was around christmas time, to clean the pots, with tuner control lubricator (contact cleaner), it just plain weird, i wondering if it has something to do with the storm this afternoon.
