RCA Victor T-55 AM radio
#1

All, Ok starting on a RCA Victor T-55 AM Radio. 1939 or 1940 .. Not sure which.. The Cabinet isn't in to bad a shape..Probably a good one to start on for me as I haven't done any cabinets yet.. See Picture:

The insides are not that bad to work on.. Not many parts and not hard to get to..

But I have a question on the push buttons.. The 6 push buttons do not seem to do anything and not connected to anything Dummy buttons? Cannot find on schematic either.

Order a bunch of Caps for this and my others just acquired..

PS uses a Loop antenna on side of radio..
