I am new to the Phorum and also new to antique radios. Bought this refurbished/reconditioned mostly original 1936 90c Cathedral style a few years ago. It worked wonderfully for about a year and then began to smoke. I am unsure how to try and figure out the problem. I have been looking for someone to consider repairing. I live in southeast michigan just out side of Ann Arbor.

Im interested in either getting some guidance on how to try and determine the problem. Probably having an expert do the work would be best option.



Thanks for any advice and suggestions.

Bill
