Hi Mike, i have 2 Goerge that the reception is very poor, but they receive. I check almost all the reception part but still not working, You think this glue can be the problem? I think is the next that i`m going to try. Thanks for the video and your help!
How do you clean the corrosive glue off the PCB? Does spritzing a patch with the GC solvent soften the glue enough to be able to simply pull it off? Reason I ask is that solvent might be something you wouldn't want to get near plastic parts.
Dino Papas hello down here I use METHYLATED SPIRITS it’s iso alcohol with acetone and some other solvents. It works really well and I e not had any plastic problems with it. The % of the additives is not great enough to affect plastic but it does get rid of the glue on the board. With the ferrites etc I do what mike does and desolder and drop in the same but I add a bit more acetone.
Nice Radio, I have one too...! But there are some problems...: If I turn RF Gain at the front to minimum, the volume on Am and Fm mode turns down a little bit, not in SSB modes... The build in SWR meter at 1 watt rf power; one bar. At 10 watt rf power; 5 bars. Yes, I recalibrating the meter each time, and I use dummy load that I know working 100% The last issue, power consumption... 4.5A at TX, 10 watt out. Is there any one out there who can help me? Thanx!!
GC makes a similar product for silicone coatings called "Print Kote Solvent" Part No. 22-209 www.gcelectronics.com/order/SubCatPDF/thinners%20Solvents%20Coatings%2055-56.pdf Might be worth a try on silicone glue.
Hello friend, I have a President Lincoln Mk1, that when turning it on for the first time it takes some time to show the frequency of work, I explain myself better, the screen turns on but it does not show me the numerals, and after 5 minutes they appear, but that happens only when the radio has several days off, I imagine it can be some capacitor, you could help me to repair this fault.

I've got to give them kudos for the shielding around the RF output section. I wish all transceivers had that.
Awesome tip Mike about to service a 1995 George..
Good info! I have one of these that's been mothballed for at least ten years virtually nib. Now I wanna see what's inside it!
I just tried the same thing with acetone and it seemed to work great.

Anything is possible. They have steadily been releasing new versions of the old classics.

My guess is the channel selector fails.
