I just took delivery of my "new" 40-130 that I got from Ebay. While I'm happy with the condition of the cabinet, reception is a far cry from the, "It picks up plenty of stations" description on the listing. I went to Lowe's and bought two 25ft spools of 16 gauge low-voltage wire with the intent of making a long-wire antenna by stringing it along the soffits of my house. Is this a good approach or am I wasting my time? The radio was supposedly electronically restored, but could it still be an electronic problem?
