Kirk's Sterling deluxe
#19

This is the first time I have ever looked at this radio and while I am in there I thought I better check a few things. The small resisters were way out of tolerance so I changed them for new ones. There was one original cap still in it as well so out it will go. The radio works ok with a good antenna connected but it is noisy. No hum to speak of, no worse than most any other simple radio but it picks up the plasma TV upstairs and the fluorescent lights are very noticeable.
Reception on my outside is very acceptable.
