Swan 250 #1

 This is a Swan 250 I picked up from an estate. I love these 6m rigs...they're great performers, easy to service and maintain, and are fairly inexpensive. This one was _very_ dirty from being in storage, but was pretty easy to restore.


I checked the tubes, and all were good. I cleaned the tube pins and sockets, replaced a few out of spec resistors, replaced the electrolytic capacitors, cleaned the relay, cleaned and lubricated all pots and switches, installed new lamps, cleaned the interior, and gave the cover a paint job. She's back up and running like new. Here's a few photos...
