Thought I would report back and offer thanks for all the help on my project. Couldn't have done it with out this site and others. Powered up the radio for the first time yesterday and it plays wonderfully. Picks up stations on all bands although it really shines on the AM Broadcast bands.Too bad there is so little music on AM these days. I did find a Port Angels WA station that plays oldies from the 30 and 40's. This radio really is quite loud, fills my whole (small) house with rich, warm mellow tones. My only small concern is the rotating lighting mechanism that displays the currrent band selection is a little off sync. It doesn't always illuminate the proper broadcast/police/overseas window after I switch the band dial. I may look into this but I'm good to go.
Thanks to everyone. Next project, the little Detrola.
