Can anyone recommend an independent electronic component supplier in the UK? some years ago I did find one of these - a good old fashioned ring up tell him what you need, pay for it over the phone and he posts it to you! but have lost contact details - fed up with paying 50p for a capacitor and £4.95 p/packing! Radio spares, Farnell et al. Regards Nick

I have just started restoring an Ekco U319 radio - the first two photos show the radio as received. The case is now restored and set to one side ready for later re-assembly. The plastic case has been cut back with Solvol Autosol and the inset section at the front rubbed down and re-sprayed in Ivory gloss finish. Next job is to remove the original speaker cloth from it's back board and soak in Washing powder, will post more photos when this is completed. I have purchased a second U319A mainly for it's knobs which were missing on this radio but also for a parts back up should I need it, Nick Ekco U319 unrestored 1.jpg (Size: 977.78 KB / Downloads: 5) Ekco U319 unrestored 2.jpg (Size: 953.55 KB / Downloads: 5) Case cut back and inset sprayed.jpg (Size: 919.55 KB / Downloads: 5)

I've aquired a Rogers Cadet 2 pre & power amp which is a bit sick. The chap who had it before has tried a bit of repair work which looks susp' including fitting a 100uf 25v electrolytic on the wiper terminal of the balance control, surely that can't be right?. I need a schematic to try and sort it out, anybody know where I can get one?.
