Hallo bei meiner Capella hat der Ausgangsübertager Windungsschluss. Hat jemand einen anzubieten oder ein Schlachtchassis.
Oder weiss jemand wer diesen neu wickeln könnte.
Freundliche Grüsse

Greetings all,
I have recently purchased what I think is a Capella. The chassis shows BD700A (without 22 ). I am perplexed as this documentation calls for 15 tubes and my chassis has 14, with 1 less EB41 and some rearrangement of the FM discriminator section. All photos appear to be the same with the exception that I have no rear cover.
Is anyone aware of what this difference is due to? Western export or different model possibly? Any help is greatly appreciated as this is a beautifully designed set which deserves to be properly restored.
regards, Bill Liers
