I have a model 37-690 that needs 're capped and 're resistored, and I am seeking some tips from the experts. I have worked on antique radios off and on for a few years now, but I have never taken on one this big. The radio will come on and does tune in stations on all bands, however, it has a hum/Buzz coming mainly from the left "tweeter". I am new to this forum, and I am looking forward to making this radio great again.
