Ron, Terry thanks for the input. Turns out, one of the problems was the wire from the oscillator to the AC line was literally hanging on by a thread, and the record player I was using has weak cartridge. I tried using a MP3 player through output transformer and was able to pick up the signal from across my shop clearly. Once I get the original cartridge rebuild, it will be fun to show my kids about their grandparents "MP3" player.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
