Hi , I have an old MVT7100 in good condition but the capacitor that stores frequencies whilst changing batteries has packed up. I know I can just re-enter them but wondered if anyone knows of a reasonable repair company?

Navada Radio in Portsmouth fixed mine a couple of years ago Rummy

Battery contacts broke. Back within a week

Hi Rummy

i had the same problem i replaced the capacitor and it still dropped frqs so thought i had a faulty one and replaced it again same problem again on closer inspection on the circuit board there are four wires two to the speaker and two to the battery connections these two were brittle so i shortened them soldered back on circuit board and 12months on no problems at all just like new.
you cant keep a good scanner down!

Cheers Baz1 not sure I have the skills or trust myself to solder , as it all works may live with it for now

I can recommend this chap for Yupi repairs. Just fixed both of my 7100s in November this year.

I can thoroughly endorse David Wood - exemplary service!

Just thought I would ask instead of starting a new topic anyone from Edinburgh on here know of a repair company in Edinburgh which just in case anything happens with my MVT-7100 I could go to for repairs? Just thought I would ask?

Seconded, James brought my Yupi 7000 and AOR 2002 back to life last year. Took about two months from first contact to return.
