Hello Paulo. You say you restored this radio in 1977? You may want to consider rechecking resistors for drifting, and recapping the chassis again. Those components are at least 45 years old, and age is not their friend. I may be too cautious, but I don't fully trust newer replacement caps much farther than 10-15 years. Just my way. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
