Thanks for that Millhouse, I couldn't find that....

I'll read it and see if I can get some awnsers!!

The main issue is how cord socket and fuse are built in... If you are to put cord in you need to remove fuse, and by doing that... Well let's say I'm scared to burn the thing totally... And I've looked arround, they are some expencive stuff...

any pics of where the cord/ fuse go?

also, if you decide to sell it i know someone who would be happy to take it

[edcgear]

This is how it looks



Middle part with up/down arrow is fuse holder, on the left is a slider (sliding door) where you can see only one hole... When you try to slide the door to the right (towards fuse) the fuse holder/box is in the way so it stops you



This is how it looks with fuse box removed



Only then you can move slider and reveal what looks like standard 220V socket for charge cord (under finger)



So what do I do?? Do I remove fuse, slide door and plug in cord and 220V?? Or?? 

As I said it's an expensive peace of equipment and I don't want to ruin it....

[ryan1835]

cant you pop the fuses in when its slid over?

ive asked my friend who collects and repairs radios ill post back when he gets back to me

[edcgear]

No it's impossible to put back fuse box while door is slided...

Looking for that reply... Thanks!!! 

[ryan1835]

well he can only really say the obvious he thinks the fuse holder needs too be pushed up or down, maybe the holder is upside down?

that would be all thats stopping the sliding panel

[edcgear]

Thanks matey.

It is imposible to do so. The fuse holder has small conectors on springs and they have their place on circuit board, also holder has a guides on both sides and they slip in housing, so there is just one way to put it in...

 

I thought that fuse holder when pulled out slightly will allow sliding part to, well slide in... But also no go!! They don't mach...

I was wrong:

Thanks

[Threeme2189]

Oh  I'll try that!!

Thanks

I had a hunch you could slide the fuse upwards...
Good luck firing it up, I'm curious about what that thing is capable of

I just had a small phone conversation with a friend of mine who is Radio Amateur, he directed me to he's friend antque radio servicer and amplifier manufacturer... So I'll give him a call and see is he able to help me, just to be on the safe side.

I'll make an update after visit him...
