Pace MSS500/1000 series power supply circuit.
As
the PSU circuit for the 500/1000 is rather large, I've split it into two separate sections
- the primary and secondary sides of the mains transformer.

Grundig GRD200/280/300 PSU circuit.
The
power supplies in these receivers have been exceptionally reliable, probably due to the
small number of electrolytics in the primary side! - only two, including the reservoir
capacitor. Anyway, In case someone may find it helpful, here's the circuit.

The
GRD280 & GRD300 have a fully adjustable RF modulator, similar to the later Pace
receivers, and also have the advantage that they can be set to work as either Pal-I or
Pal-G. The modulator channel setting is explained in the instructions (I've included
details on my Service Menu page as well), but the sound inter-carrier setting can only be
changed via the secret service menu.
WARNING!!.
Do not alter the service menu settings at random, according to Grundig Technical, damage
can be caused by such tampering. ALWAYS write down the original settings, so you may? be
able to restore them afterwards. The following link gives the PIN number for access to the
service menu, AND a list of original settings for the GRD300.
Default PIN numbers for GRD300.
Pin number: 2355
Astra reset code: 2601
Be aware reset takes out all channel names at the same time.

Pickering has a site of particular interest to anyone with satellite problems, as well as
technical advice he supplies spare parts and accepts receivers for repair by post. Whereas
I repair various electronic items, Martin specializes in satellite receivers, and as such
has vast experience in their repair.
