How is the band selector set up on the 60? I just bought a basket case that was once turned into a PA system, then back to a radio in the 50's. I've ordered the schematic but tested the existing capacitors, cleaned the sockets and oddly enough, the thing came to life--way out of alignment, but I can pick up some stations in the middle of the dial. The band selector switch gives no change with the selector turned all the way to the left and back to the middle setting. The far right setting has no reception. Which is supposed to be the AM band? Left? Center? or all the way to the right?
Also, I'll post some pics of the previous owner's mods done in the 50's. The most interesting, is that he glued inside the cabinet a type-written history of what he did to the radio . I have to admit that it makes the radio much more interesting. I think I'll start doing the same thing for the person who ends up with one of my radios in 50 years or so.
