Hi Guy's,
Have a question on my model 76 lowboy that I am working on.
WHen I turn it on,without an antenna hooked up,I have a hard time receiving stations.
If I grab the volume control(no knob)it will receive stations.
But only the volume control.
I thought it might be a ground issue,but only happens with the volume control.
No difference on any other controls or the chassis.
If I hook up a wire to the antenna screw it only picks up stations that are the strongest.
Not as good as when I grab the volume control shaft.
Is there some kind of short,or what?
Have the cabinet almost re-finished.Had to make a new top as the old one had a huge hole burned in it.
Looks awsome now.
Would still like to find a new speaker and grill cloth for it though.
If you have anything let me know.
Thanks for your help,
Murf
