Since my last update, I’ve made progress. I managed to unlock the secret to replacing all the waxies in the band selector section, and I’m just waiting on one more oddball electrolytic.
Once all the waxies were replaced with poly’s, it left a lot of open room to look around, and inspect things.
That’s when I noticed there was a cut wire from the 1st IF transformer. I pulled it, and found the transformer had been removed, butchered, parts lost, then bolted back down.
So for a day and a half, I pondered what I was going to do with this boat anchor.
I managed to find a 48-1274 nearly complete chassis on that auction site, at a reasonable price.
My first radio restoration has turned into a Quest, and I am determined that this White Whale will live again.
