Hi everyone,  thanks for letting me join this site . When I was growing up in the 1950's my parents had a model 39-45 we listened to every day. Now here I am 65 years later and have finally finished its restoration. I'm trying to figure out how you set the push buttons. Does it require changes in the chassis or is there a way for the user to set them?  Also,  can I post a picture here?

Thanks,
Warren

Hi and welcome,
The info the here in the service manual: http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/298/M0013298.htm
There are two adjustments for each push button. One sets the osc and the other adjusts the ant circuit.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts

figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
