Yesterday and today was putting back the dial assembly.
I decided to take it apart.
There were problems.
Probably due to the dial hub having damage and the band illumination screen being badly damaged, someone took it apart but made some mistake when putting it back together.
When I defeated the vernier, I had some trouble realizing the lock pin action, but eventually got it working.
So, a year ago I bought a 37-116 with extra chassis. This proved helpful as the band illumination screen was intact on this one, plus the volume off contact cardboard gasket was also in need of replacement.
I suspect there are other problems with the radio, but first will attemp to align; I suspect an open transformer in one of the RF staged: several things point to that even though it receives well on BC without any antenna.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
