Randal,
Thanks for the info. That sounds like the phono pre-amp my radio came with. In this Westinghouse WR-10A, I'm thinking that this phono pre-amp may have been marketed as a kit from Westinghouse/GE/RCA to be sold and installed by the technician at the local radio shop. In this one, I'm pretty sure it was a manufacturer design, but the installation leaves much to be desired, leading me to believe that it was installed locally. Too bad that hole was drilled in the front panel for the new gain control. As such, nobody wanted it, and I bought the radio for scrap. Too bad, because the radio actually plays well. It only needs re-capping. Now I am undecided as to whether to pull the transformer or the whole chassis and install it in my GE S-22A or to try and repair this front panel and save this radio. Decisions, decisions, lol!
