BTW, has anyone had success in cleaning the volume pots on these. I have a small amount of "scratchiness" which I'd like to eliminate, but the pot seems pretty well sealed. If it's a risky job, I'll just leave it as is.
Unsolder, pry up the 6 tabs on the front. Gently pull it apart. Spray inside with Deoxit(best but some guys use WD-40 )with good results. Reassemble with care that the tab that flips the off/on switch is in the proper position. Resolder and enjoy! If that doesn't fix it you have a worn spot in the resistance film inside the pot. This will require replacement to correct the problem.
Isn't radio repair fun!!!!

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
