Any tips or suggestions will be appreciated.
This will be the first post. I'll try to take plenty of photos as I go along.
Thus far, the status is as follows:
1) It plays, but crackles.
2) Somebody replaced capacitors, so I mainly need to check that work, and finish replacing the electrolytics and a few otehrs.
2) I see no sign of cleaning
3) The various rubber parts (tuner mount, etc.) were not replaced.
4) The cabinet will need to be refinished.
5) The original dial lights were discarded, rather than rebult, so I will need them.
6) One tweeter cone is all broken-up, so I'll have it re-coned.
7) There is some strange added antenna wire, but connecting to the "red" terminal also works. I was able to receive a few stations on AM and on shortwave with a 10' piece of hookup wire.
8 ) There is a strange two-conductor shielded cable with the two conductors connected and covered by old friction tape.
