There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.

It must be horrible having to repair something which you know isn't much good even when it is working correctly.

I have a couple of radios here which as radios they are pretty rubbish, but they have some sentimental value as they belonged to an old mate who died many years back.

Hi Simon: It can be a pain but if that's what people want, then hey ho. It's a pain in the backside when someone has been there before you & butchered a radio, when it's a quality item. When it's something like this, it just makes it worse.
I know exactly what you mean with sentiment, a long time friend of mine passed recently & I have 4 rigs that were his. Unfortunately after becoming a radio amateur he decided that he knew enough to repair radio's himself & these with their faults are the result, I now have the rather unpleasant task of getting them working again. But I feel it's something I have to do in his memory.
