Help understanding a 89 radio rebuild new guy
#26

Living in Florida I enjoy the power outages from storms. The radio reception is wonderful. Things to look at a touch lamp mine even off makes a buzz in the air waves have to unplug the beast. Somewhere around 1987? the national electric code change the neutral wire on a service had to be the same size and the 2 hots, check your house. Working at a paper mill ground wire to a service panel had to be the same size as the hots and neutrals this happen around 2003 not because of code something the engineers decided when the computer controls were up graded. One could stand in the same building as the paper making machine and a AM radio would work. David
