Good work John, these sliders are a problem, and congratulation with your BM 1900, I had the same problem with my 2400 but could save them.

Congratulations.  I took a similar approach with my two BM2400s:

one cosmetically perfect nonworking ($25) + one cosmetically awful working ($25) = one beautiful piece of equipment (priceless) + plethora of spare parts

Did you ever put new rubber feet on your unit?  With my BM4000, BM2400 and BM1900, I put these underneath each corner.  Makes attaching cables and antennas much easier.

I used glue on rubber feets, 3/4" OD, 1/2" high, but the connections on the 1900/2400 is a PIB if you change offen.

Thank you for your comments. I found some small 1/4 inch round stick on feet at Home Depot after much searching with no luck for ones comparable to the originals. I always try to get it as close to original as possible when I do this sort of thing. The 1900 I used for parts and took the slider resistors from had quite different film slider markings than my 1900 although the model was the same. They are like the 2400 ones. I could see that someone had done repairs on the unit (badly) sometime in the past so wonder if the film sliders are the originals? Are the later 1900 film the same as the 2400 ones?

Still excited about this working unit!

John
