advice needed: restoring 47-1230 - FM & AM now works!!!! :D (uncertain about SW)
#37

Thanks!
you're the first to comment on this idea; I am happy someone else than me thinks it might become useful!
I got an original service manual just for the reason you mentionned. I plan on making a "revised" schematics later with the alterations (and my values for the non-exact replacements), and document with some pictures including before/after; put all that in an envelope and staple it in the interior of the radio for whoever ends up with it later. Who knows who's going to maintain this radio next... and when.


I tried a few types of markers, ended up with a plain black sharpie and it works good.



Thanks for the kind words on my ongoing restoration, I had tons of help from the community; when I acquired the radio, I never tought I'd change most capacitors in there to revive it. I too learn a lot every day!
