    What is this? Radio?

    Yes I was thinking it must be some sort of receiver as I saw the antenna… But how would you listen to it as no external ports for speakers or speaker..?

    PYE P28 radiogram no sound

    Hi, yes one of the tubes seems to be not lighting up but it’s a strange looking one with a metal thing inside of it… does get quite hot inside due to other valves lighting up… so some are working??? I have a garrard SP25 which has 2 red white plug outputs. I plugged the red one in the red pu...

    PYE P28 radiogram no sound

    I have just brought myself round to doing it like you said… exact same outcome - little buzz through speakers. When I move it around the buzz seems to slightly change tone… Thanks Zach

    PYE P28 radiogram no sound

    Did the test you said to do but with a electric screwdriver with a little light in it… When I stuck that in it and put my finger on the end of the screwdriver (has a little metal circle which you put your finger on it to enable the light to come on) The light very very very dimly lit up and I...

    PYE P28 radiogram no sound

    Hello, wired up the turntable today bu connecting the 4 coloured insulated wires to the red banana plug and all the sheath to the black banana plug. Turned it on. Nothing. Still the same old hum. I got my index finger like you said and rubbed the stylus but absolutely nothing. Even put a record...

    PYE P28 radiogram no sound

    Hi, Thanks for getting back to me… I’ll wire up the turntable as soon as I can and do the initial test… hopefully it works audio wise as the turntable is what I want to work the most, only one MW channel left in the uk which is that sport channel, I’ll join all the coloured insulated wires in...

    PYE P28 radiogram no sound

    Thank you for this, I am a hoarder of old radiograms… I’ve had most of them for a few years now and they are just breaking down… leaving me scratching my head on what to do as I only really know how to repair the mechanisms. It seems the turntable hasn’t ever been fully connected, it has power...

    PYE P28 radiogram no sound

    Hi, I own a 1951 PYE P28 radiogram and just turned it on after years… It all lights up as it should and the valves light up inside… the record player spins and it makes a low humming noise… Power wise it is all fine… However this is all it does… I cannot get the radio to make any sound…...

    Blown amplifier part.

    The glass fuse is only one amp. So that shows that either the capacitor is giving it more that one amp or the unit is drawing more that one amp. I think it’s the capacitor as that has blown and how it makes a huge difference when in circuit with a fresh fuse. When a new capacitor is applied...

    Blown amplifier part.

    If there is another problem then how come the dodgy capacitor made a difference. As in allowing it to turn on??? But without dodgy capacitor it didn’t turn on but just blew the fuse. To me that dodgy capacitor seems to be delaying the mains power a bit (1 second) before blasting through the...

    Blown amplifier part.

    So, I took out the capacitor and inserted a fresh fuse… Powered it up and nothing happened… and the fuse blew. Then I tried again with the capacitor and it lit up and then after a second it went out and the fuse blew. Deffo the capacitor that’s stopping it from working. I’ve got a new one...
