A common issue with Tandberg pots is that the glider that runs on the carbon track snaps, as it is under constant tension.

I have found that you can in fact solder this glider back together and it actually holds up. I have now done this on two of my own, and recently even did the smaller volume pot on the TR 2055 for a dutch member of the facebook group. He reported back yesterday, stating it worked perfectly!

I figured I'd share this, since it may allow some of you to keep the original part.

Best, Klas

I had a problem with the noisy transformer at TR2055. After 1h playing it started 'buzz' like a hell, so the new audio toroidal transformer ( it has the traditional one ) has been designed. It looks and works perfect now. If you have the same problem let me know.

I am through process of cleaning and lubricating of the push buttons. The

Balance-, Bass- and Treble-controlls need Deoxit, the turntable and speakers seems ok. 

Is there something more which I should look into, with my limited knowledge in "electronics", before I put it for sale?

(the TR2055 will have its own topic)

I'd like a TCD 440A cassette deck and thought I might get lucky in Sweden as it's closer to home...

I'll be going for two weeks, last week of July and first week of August, staying mainly in the south of Sweden and will be driving in from the Hook of Holland via Germany. I'm unlikely to be travelling much further north than Gavle, but you never know and Oslo looks tempting...

I have done some googling but not had much joy, I found a good sounding tech guy called John from Eslov, but his trade ad has since been taken down and I haven't found his website.

Whilst I haven't had much luck on places to buy, I have found a lot of information on Tandberg, the sportbil files are much appreciated, and thanks too for good sites like tandbergista's. It's really helped me in choosing a deck :)
