Well, another task rears its ugly head, Several of the wires going into the power transformer are frayed near where they go into the casing. I pulled the transformer, opened the case, and rang out the various windings. FORTUNATELY they are all OK. I am going to have to clip each lead, splice it close to the transformer itself, put on new wire of similar color, insulate the splice with heat shrink, and then close up and remount the transformer. What joy! This is the first one I have encountered where I have had to do this. Usually, just being careful prevents the wires from fraying. In this case, however, this radio is such a jam packed blivit that I have had to manipulate some wires, and this has caused the insulation to disintegrate, cloth and all. Oh well, something else to tackle and learn from.
