Hello,
Once in a while when I turn on the radio (Philco part no. DITA-18806) in my 1971 ford F100 pickup, it works fine. However, most of the time I can't get a station to come in. It makes noises as I turn the tuner dial but that's all. I have no experience with the inside of a radio. Should I make an attempt to repair it? If so, is there a book on the subject? I've enjoyed learning how to repair things on the truck as things go wrong including overhauling the engine and some work on the drive train. Repairing the radio could be another interesting challenge but I don't want to invest a lot of time and money in equipment for a one time repair.
Thanks,
Steve L
