I picked up a Tandberg TR2030 that was a basket case, was disassembled and in a box. I had no background on it, but since all the lamps were new, and the old ones were in there, as well as 5 pin DIN connectors with RCAs that someone was going make an interconnect with so I kind of assumed that that was what the original owner was working on. The power switch was broken too.
I fixed that and powered it up, when using the cable on Tape or phono, it sounds very good. No issues, pops when turned on and off a little but, otherwise it's ok.
When the tuner is engaged, it's not happy. Random motor boating sound, flickering, relay pulling in and out..
is there any known issues with these that someone can point me in the right direction?
It also has an interesting festoon 12V lamp built on the board? Is that some sort of dim bulb setup? A current limiter maybe?
It's a very nice looking receiver, with nice rosewood end caps and top. I think I'd like to use it in the bedroom with a pair of AR2AX speakers if I can get it working well.
