ITT Schaub Lorenz Touring International model 103, an early 70's transistor radio

Recently I bought (from a well known on-line auctions web site) a nice sample of the ITT Schaub Lorenz Touring International model 103, an early 70's transistor radio.
When it finally came into my hands, I realized that the dial lamps did not light up as expected, when the radio was switched on while connected to AC mains.
The short video below is the little photo-story of how I had to gently disassemble the 103 to replace the broken lamp(s) with new ones. The second video is a sentimental tribute to this beautiful radio.

At the link here below some more information and a detailed review of the ITT Schaub-Lorenz Touring International 103 vintage radio receiver:

Some National Panasonic service manuals from 70's

Finally I have managed to scan and convert to JPEG - from an old microfilm - some service manuals of National Panasonic electronic equipments from 70's.

These are:
  • Motional Feedback Speaker-Amplifier System mod. MF-800 (but then I found a much better PDF version on the web)
  • Flash Unit PE-2410
  • R-155 portable radio receiver (almost unreadable on the microfilm)
  • R-510B portable radio receiver with cassette tape recorder
  • R-531B (which is the one I was directly interested in, for a future restoration work).
You can find all material above stored at link here below:
