Sorry, Ron, TMI is what I do. (Hey, this may be my shortest post.) My last responsibility for my job is to write service procedures for laboratory automation systems. I am driving my coworkers crazy but once I retire, the info would leave with me if I don't write these documents down.

I have 2 AK35s. the only thing missing on mine are the bands and pulleys that gang the individual tuning capacitors. Otherwise, these are very simple radios. Only thing that goes bad other than the linkage is the grid leak, the interstage transformers and the wirewound resistors between the tuning caps and grids of the RF Amp tubes.
