Is this transformer toast?
#20

I DID IT !!!!!!

The radio turns on and I'm getting stations.

For weeks, after recapping and all that, I couldn't figure out why there was sound but no reception.  It appears the phono pushbutton was stuck in the ON position.  Unsticking it did it.  I should say I think that's what did it.

Anyway, it's been a fun and illuminating journey.  You can imagine my joy.  Back in March I knew absolutely nothing.  Nada.  Zilch.

Thanks to everyone who patiently answered all my dumb questions.  Rest assured I will be back with more!
