Well I tried cleaning the switch and no luck.
So what I did is eliminate the wire from the switch and wired in another from the lead that provides power to the top light.
Now I have all 5 lights burning when turned on.
That's all right with me.
Kind of nice to have the teledial lit up anyway.
Magnetic tuning still works as it should.
Here is a picture of brother and sister side by side.

Both looking and playing great now.
Thanks for all the help once again.
I'LL BE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM
