[madbriuk]

ok here you go mate.

[madbriuk]

madbriuk The switch pictured is a double pole single throw switch, just test it with a multimeter, right pair open / short on toggle, ditto for the left pair.
I doubt it's the switch though.

[davefingers]

there are 4 wires as it switches bolth the positive and the negative

hi lads I got it working the lcd display was faulty so couldent see anything but when I went on any channel it stayed on that channels and wouldn't move, Everything worked till I put a channel on, I tested every image I could get my hands on it it still did the same so there must still be a problem, maybe with the mother board, Anyway I had enough with the thing I couldn't sell it on the net like that so I give it away to some old chap round the corner.
Thanks

What a hell.
One of my DUOs suddenly dead both for capacitor and the regulator.
Successfully replaced both and the DUO worked for a day.
Than the capacitor blew again.
Replaced it.
Duo started, tuned and after a minute dead again.

I think I'm gonna give up.

i wont buy another duo

[abu baniaz]

going by your thread on the other forum, you have a cloned receiver.

anyway, they are old. so no point buying them.

[madbriuk]

yes it was but loads are having prob with gen ones? I didn't know mine was a clone till I wanted help with it, I got ripped off?

[abu baniaz]

sorry to hear. hope your next receiver is troublefree.
