Mark, sorry about your problems. Sounds like the "professional" only means you paid for his service. Your radio is certainly not the easiest to restore. I did one for a friend and I never wish to work on one again. Perhaps someone can help on here but if you are really new to radios, this is not one to start on fresh. Very nice sounding radio and it appears the amp section is working. That is part of the way there.
