advice needed: restoring 47-1230 - FM & AM now works!!!! :D (uncertain about SW)
#32

Today I let the radio play most of the day. Its the first time I really make it play since I started to fix it up, was nice. After 5 or so hours, the power transformer gets warm to the touch, nothing more.

However, the accumulation of heat from the tubes and transformers makes that the top of the radio gets a bit warm.

Is that usual? I didn't think it would happen, the radio doesn't put out that much heat. Maybe I should add a cooling fan or something? Icon_lol

Seriously, should I be worried about that fact, or is that usual for console radios?
