Restoring a Braun TS2: Accurate RF and IF Alignment & Unexpected Image Frequencies - pt4

Only $5 for 10 PCBs and every new member get $5 bonus. + Express 24 hour / 48 hour service on https://www.pcbway.com/ ➠ ➠ ➠ In this episode of the Braun TS2 restoration, I perform a complete RF alignment to correct the adjustments I made on the oscillator and front end for the LW band. Since the alignment instructions I had were for a different chassis, I recreated an accurate set specific to this Braun TS2, which I’ll walk you through in the video. This time, I reversed the usual alignment order, doing the RF alignment first, followed by the IF. Along the way, I encountered unexpected image frequencies on the SW band, which I demonstrate and discuss with possible causes.

🎥 Back to basics Series
Many tasks in this video are covered briefly, without deep explanations of the theory—especially for those new to tube radio restoration. For a more detailed understanding, I’ve created a tutorial series called “Back to Basics,” which goes into the concepts in depth. I recommend watching those videos to better follow the steps I don’t fully explain here. The playlist is:
