one more update (for anyone whos interested!)
ive just found and bought 2more units off ebay .one works fine .other has slight cassette distortion !
also i tried a previously perfect new old stock unit that i fitted into my carlton a few years back and lo and behold the cassette is very bad on that one now as well !
so even if its being affected by the cold now im 100% sure they never used to be so theres something very weird going on especially to affect so many identical models all with an identical issue. i did message dave dnd at the begginning of this thread as im sure he would have worked on many of these sets in the day but he wasnt too helpfull ! fair enough hes running a business and doesnt seem to be on this forum anymore .
my next move is to either buy one of the small preamp boards of try to idolate ond from another unused different old radio cassette !

No personal experience of this but even if the spline pattern is the same, wouldn’t you end up with an airbag light on all of the time, as the Omega A (Carlton) steering wheel was non-airbag wasn’t it? You’d also lose the track/volume controls from the Omega B steering wheel wouldn’t you?
Others on here with personal experience of the Omega A will be better placed to answer this. |

Hello everyone, I want to replace the steering wheel of my pre-facelift Omega B with a steering wheel from an Omega A. Does anyone know if that’s possible?

Hope you have better luck than i did.Signed up to Sky about four months ago. Had date fixed for connection to the fibre cables installed on my estate by a company called City Fibre. Got a text from Sky postponing the connection until they had completed a "feasibility study". Week later got a phone call from City Fibre (who it seems are owned by Sky) saying that there were issues with the cables laid under the pavements on my road, which were defective and they had no plans to rectify them, as the uptake of customers was minimal. I then had to crawl back to BT, now EE to be reconnected. Hopefully everything will go to plan, Ronny. Quickline are based in Hull, and when contacted they always pick up the phone within a matter of seconds. Also, every single female voice is English sounding, although I imagine they will farm customer service out to our dusky cousins abroad before too long if the company continues to grow. ![]() |
