Rehabing 42-854 AM/SW Portable
#43

I took it out of the cabinet again the do the RF alignment on it as you can't get to the two trimmers on top of the tuning condenser when it's in the cabinet. And removed the loop too. Got it all set up to do the alignment, All went ok put it back in  the cabinet and it DIED. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I think I'm going to replace the oscillator grid leak cap and resistor. That would be #7 and 8 if you are following along. They are connected to the pin that I've been fooling around with to get it running when it dies.
I think I'm going to be an expert on this thing when I get it done! Too bad they didn't make more of them. HA HA.
Overall when it's working it plays well. Pretty loud for a portable and with it's 6" spkr sounds good. I am getting a fair amount noise from the AC line so I'd like to give it a try with batteries. This should be much quieter.

Sam, How's your set work?????
Joe, I think I'll work on your PT** It will be a cake walk by comparison!!!! Rubber wire and all!
