RCA 10K Restoration Journal
#4

g8wayg8r, Several years ago I restored a RCA 10K and everythging went well and I thought I was done. The radio was going to be a Christmas present for my daughter. Just before Christmas I was doing one last check and the audio just died. After being off for a while it worked fine , then died again. When continuity checks were done I found that a cable going from the chassis top to the bottom was the problem. The cable is wrapped and when I removed the wrapping I found that all of the wires had insulation that had rotted out and many chances for signal shorting were available. A complete cable rebuild took care of the problem and the radio is still alive and well in San Antonio. Hope you don't have the same problem.
