I have got an AR7 from a garage sale a short ago. It worked quite well and it was very precise in frequency, but it needed a good cleaning and an electrolytics recap. After recapping I did the cleaning of the solderings side with alcohol and toothbrush, and after that an audio issue arose: the audio came and went away simply touching some components in the circuit, including touching the trimmer pots. At last, I redid the solderings around TR15 (D471) that feeds the channel display and all was fixed. That transistor becomes very warm and perhaps the repeated temperature variations in time had damaged some solderings. Very nice little rig, unfortunately not legal for use in Italy.

The first and second iterations of the are total garbage. The v3 of them are OK. If you have the test equipment and spend the time setting them up, they're not too bad. Channel selectors are very delicate in them though. The selector or a cpu fault are normally what writes them off.

Hi and welcome along. The headers and link pipe are cobra SR1. Just a carbon fibre race can as I didn't want to cut down the original cobra can. I can't wait to hear it run myself. Bit bogged down with radio work at the moment. But we will be back at it soon enough.
