President james. UK40?

Post by Mudslinger »

I have got myself a President James as part of a joblot, and it seems to work.

The problem is at the moment it is 6 bands AM/FM and there is no one to talk to...

Does anyone know the code sequence to get it onto UK40? That is assuming it can be done?

Many thanks

There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.

I tried that on mine and found I seemed to need more fingers than I actually had ;)

I gave up and flogged it in the end as to go through all that faffing around, simply wasn't worth the hassle.

I've heard they're a lot worse than the George.

Cheers Nick, It sort of makes sense. I will try it later.

The radio is unlikely to be a keeper but it would be good to try it.

It worked, thank you Nick and was easier than I thought it would be.
