I am trying to restore some old (tube type) Becker Mexico automobile radios. But, I am having trouble finding service information. I understand there might be a Sams Photofact for them; I just can't find what number it is though. I did manage to get a schematic for a Mexico B (from s/n 95000) which is correct for one of the ones I have but, gives no information on the power supply (power supply == umrichter) or alignment of the unit. s/n power supply I have the following: 805301 umrichter E (or F?) vibrator type 867979 ?? transistor supply 956049 umrichter E vibrator supply If anyone can help me with any information about these units I would be very appreciative. Or where to get parts. Or if you have one you'd like to give away or sell that would be nice too. I guess anything would help! thanks, Walt.

Walt: 1. Well, Sonny Boy, when I was yer age, we usta fixem with a wet finger and a Volt-Ohmmeter! A schematic was considered cheating! 2. However, in my old age, I have become more decrepit, and, as I also have some similar old units, I would be most grateful if you could let me know when you obtain manuals etc. I can be reached at jhs at mitre-bedford.ARPA or at (617) 271-7423 (work) / 235-8753 (home) or at John H. Sangster The MITRE Corporation - K203 P. O. Box 208 Bedford, MA 01730 If you are really desperate to figure out how to fix a Becker Mexico radio, please get in touch and I will be glad to try to help, as I want to fix mine also, and anything I learn helping you will be worth the effort. 3. It would have been more helpful, by the way, if you had included some more information such as your phone number or address - I was unable to figure out a return address for you other than this broadcast to the net. -John S.
