Is the original Acorn one like this too? Mine had some shorted
tantalum capacitors on it, I removed them and it powers up and is
detected by a BBC Master with the software loaded into sideways RAM.
But I never got the tuning indicator to show any signal at all - maybe
because I didn't have any aerial and I was using a long piece of wire
stuffed into the centre pin and trailed over to the window. I thought
it ought to have had some kind of signal showing, but now I've read
this I'm wondering if it might actually work if I used a proper roof
aerial.

I'm not sure where though; my home one never worked properly and then
I went through the cable with the hedge trimmer. I never repaired it
because I've not watched anything via the aerial for ages now.
