travler: fixing radio's

I would like to pass on my experience, fixing Trav'ler 5091 a USA import to fellow enthusists. Fault- massive hum -filter condenser measured 0.5uf -Replaced, also the ferrite rod antenna coil broken in two places The rod was very thin, have not seen one like it. I fit one from a scrap radio , the rod was much fatter ,and had to use a file to widen the slot .The radio works well .

To thank the Author because you find the post helpful or well done.
