With the Shoirt Wave, you can listen to sideband signals- you need to remove the tube shields from the IF sections and set an AM radio in a location where it interacts with the IF with wistles and pops. The reason for the delayed AGC is due largely to the nature of Short Wave to fade in and out slowly. Am/MW would be close as would Short Wave. They make good music, the receiver sections are top quality- you may not even need to touch the FM alignment at all. The AVC difference is not really a factor. The small electrloytics are a chronic problem with these, the larger Siemens made caps in the supply filter should be seviceable if they show no signs of physical leakage, the plates should reform well.ДЄlso check to make sure you select the correct voltage on the back. But do try to keep it intact electrically. I would make a grunding or SABA looking cabinet- not difficult to do. Good idea, bad in practice cuz they made the clutch out of pot metal that doesn't hold up. I used two discreet 47uFs mounted underneath.ДЄfter mine is up and running, the main thing wrong with it is that the tuning shaft has a clutch on it that selects the tuning capacitor based on the function button that's pushed. You'll want to do the bypass caps too, but often just doing the first four couplers to the power tubes will bring back audio.Д¬hanging out the 50/50uF filter cap is de rigeur with these sets. Thankfully all the coupling caps are common values. It can be intimidating if this is your first German set because this one has four times the amp that a table radio has. Once you get on a roll you will want to replace all of those paper Ero caps, which were not built to last. If that doesn't bring back audio go another step back to the couplers that feed the 12AX7s that are used as driver/ phase splitters. If its hooked up right but still no love, start with the coupling caps that go to the power tube grids, all four of them. it is confusing, and it helps to use those DIN to RCA connectors for the pickup (hi level phono or cd or tape) To get sound, make sure you have your inputs and speakers hooked up right. Looks like yours is an export-to-USA model which is good! Mine also cuts off the FM freq at 104Mhz where yours goes to 108. I too have an SO240 but mine uses ELL80 power tubes on each side, instead of your pair of EL95s for each channel.
