Magnavox model 198C restoration
#4

Actually, one socket is marked fm.
One is marked phono, one is marked motor, the next is speaker, then, Power-1A max.
After that, it's the antenna board.
Yes, it has an rf stage.As I remember, it is very sensitive.
I may try it tonight, or, tommorrow.
I'm too sore to remove speakers, so, I'll have to put it back together. I'll give it the smoke test on the variac.
If it lets the smoke out, I'm in trouble....

I have to do alot of cabinet work, and, put on my best WC changer on the drawer.
This thing was really wrecked by rats. Especially the changer. That was pretty well destroyed. Solid rust, and, all the felt off turntable from rat pee.
I fear they may have done a number on if transformers. The screws look badly coroded.
I may have to dismantle them, and, rebuild adjustable capacitors.
I may be in for a nightmare.
