Superstar SS 148 EGK

[Atlasta]

Just picked up this little gem in a recovered semi. It's basically a Malaysian 148 (5 pin) with an echo and a connector for an external frequency counter. Interior says RANGER all over it.

Once I got it all cleaned up (tobacco juice in the mic - ICK!) it seemed to work fairly well except that channels 1 though 7 don't work. It's not a big deal, I never go there anyhow but if it's an easy fix I wouldn't mind trying to get all 40 back.

Any suggestions?

Sounds as if it needs more cleaning.

Well as it turned out all it needed was a bit of adjustment to the VCO. The channel selector is a a bit worn- no doubt from frequent changing of channel- but it works on all 40 again.
