K5DBB Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I have a very nice Model 8 with extension speaker accessory. Recently, it has been receiving the same FM station all across the dial. The selectivity is shot! Is there a repair source out there that is willing to repair this vintage radio ??? Location is in North Texas. Please call or e-mail: don-bell@sw.rr.com (940) 781-9567 Don Bell (K5DBB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKent Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Welcome Don! Funny you should ask.... My restoration guide for the KLH Model Eight is attached to Post #1 here: edit: this is odd. I tried to insert a link and half my message disappeared. Let's try again If you are not into DIY I highly recommend Tim Schwartz, Bristol Electronics, Ho-Ho-Kus NJ (and yes, that is a real place). I take ALL my Model Eights (over 100 so far) to Tim after I do my recap and cosmetic work. He checks them out, aligns the FM and performs any repairs that I am not competent to perform, He is scrupulously honest, highly skilled, experienced with the Model Eight and also seems to enjoy the challenge of reviving these half-century old beauties. Well worth shipping the radio from TX to NJ (just send the receiver, not the speaker). Tim is also a factory authorized repair center for McIntosh, NAD and some other respected hi-fi products. You can't go wrong with him. It's also possible that if you call him he may suggest a DIY fix such as replacing tubes but I don't know.... Let us know how you make out. -Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
