Eico 753

[Domenic M. Mallozzi]

Many years ago I fixed a Eico 753 for a friend. It was not a bad rig. A lot
of the problems were due to poor assembly. If you did what the manual told
you to do it wasn't bad.

I have heard some 753's that have prepetual drift. In those cases take a look
at the assembly and see what the original builder 'skipped'.

As I remember the 753 made a bunch of ground connections by having the ground
foil on the PC board contact the chassis. The one I fixed also had some hum
problems on transmit and receive audio. The simplest fix was to lift the
boards and clean the boards and the chassis where they contact and surprise
the problems disappeared.

73's and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all,
