BM900 repair - fixing aerial coils

Hi,

Does anyone have best practice pointers on how to repair broken connections on these very fine copper wired aerial coils....??

As a result of breaks, the wires do not reach the original soldering points on the PCB anymore. Do I try to unwind more wire from the coil or solder in a make-up length of wire to reconnect to the PCB or completely replace the coils with new ones....??

Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Duncan

In my opinion a repair attempt is always worth trying before eventually replacing.
If a piece of copper wire (cut component lead or similar) is what's needed to extend the remains, I'm sure it will be fine.
I would not recommend unwinding the coil. You will most likely be facing a labor intensive job of realigning if you do.

On the rear of the chassis is the B&O logo and model number, and sockets to connect accessories including a record and tape player and external loudspeakers. A white electrical cord and plug extends from the rear of the casing. 4 rubber feet elevate the radio from the surface on which it is positioned. The radio casing is closed with 2 screws. Inside the casing, there is a dual-channel audio amplifier for reproduction of stereo gramophone records that deliver 2 × 5 watts of undistorted power output. The radio is prepared for single transmitter broadcasts, and has a B&O multiplex adaptor (stereo decoder). Hope this helps.

 Hope this helps.

Im sure it helps a bunch telling the op that there is a power cord and a b&o logo
at the back of his radio and wouldnt you think that he found out about
the number of screws long before he ran into the coil problem?
