[QUOTE="El Sid, post: 888246, member: 18550"] The FM section sometimes doesn't start very well, and requires the application of percussive maintenance on the ECC85 with the insulated probe (i.e. tapping with chopstick). Once that's done it runs no problem until it is switched off. So now I do suspect the ECC85, and need to get my hands on one. The treble seems a bit low so I need to have a go at that too - just get the audio a bit better balanced. (remember this is a "bi-ampli" device - separate bass and treble amps/speakers) But those are both easily done. The next major job is getting the cabinet refurbished. The box is not too bad - just needs a bit of touching up. The speaker cloth is really buggered though. [/QUOTE]
