D-1190 Trutone made for Western Auto Supply
#1

This is an aftermarket car radio I found online, condition of the unit was unknown as to be expected and I have gone through and replaced all the paper caps, had to find all good replacement tubes as the unit came with none! Also replaced all the bad broken down rubber wiring. Now according to the information I do have for the voltages for the tubes when this is powered up I get close to what they're supposed to be. I checked the oscillator and it appears to be working but I don't have anything tuning in. I also checked the audio portion and that seems to be working as well. I can tune towards the end of the dial and faintly hear a station and that's with the volume wide open and it doesn't appear to be in the right spot.
