Model 112X Find
#16
Music 

We have ignition and lift off.  Icon_clap  This radio brings in some
local [Buffalo NY] stations as well as a few out of the greater
Toronto area. I was told by the guy who did the chassis restoration
to just use as long of a chunk of wire as possible. I can't really
run it outside, but can string it around the room its in. As for the
"ground" terminal, would it do me any good to ground it through
my home wiring ground circuit? Again, I can't really poke a ground
wire out through the wall and run it to its own ground stake.  Icon_eh

Try the Ground through outlet, see if it improves anything. If not, leave it alone.

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.
