GE model 66 clock radio
#9

Thanks Paul for the pic! Mitch, I "may" need an antenna if you have one. I had a chance to play with it last Saturday after I finished the recap. It came to life, but everything was garbled. I read in another post that these radios with the loop antenna will do this if it is disconnected. Mine was some kind of replacement that looked like it came out of a transistor radio or something. I found it laying loose from shipping all those years ago and reconnected it. Well, it helped the garble, but it seems pretty poor on the reception. It helps if I connect a wire, but is still pretty poor. I get a lot of whistling and squealing when tuning. I don't know yet if it is the antenna, alignment or a bad tube. So, for the moment, this is where I stand. If I recall, the 60 had the loop made on the back, and this one looks like it had a ferrite core in a cardboard holder originally.

The clock does run, but makes the rrRRRrrrRRrrrRRR sound, so I am going to give a shot at lubing.
