I was asked to repair this gigantic STC 830 radio, "sure, it won't take long" I said. The owner then upped the ante and asked if I could do a complete restore to match the excellent job he had done on the cabinet... I toiled off and on for over 4 months on this project, it needed a complete strip down. In part two I dismantle the chassis for painting and address the badly torn speaker. I hope you will join me for part 2 of this epic adventure.

My Digital Signal Generator:
The Signal Generator is a project kit from a local electronics magazine called Silicon Chip, there is a sister publication in the UK called Practical Electronics, it was featured in the April 2018 edition but mine has a oscilloscope function as well which I don't use. There may be a later edition in PE with that feature.
