Well, I'm seriously considering throwing in the towel after taking the chassis out and looking at all the rotting insulation on the wires. Not a fun job replacing all that.........

No it isn't a fun job, but if you look at it as just one or two wires at a time it gets less intimidating. That is a really nice performing radio and think how proud you'll be being able to save it from the dumpster!

I'm going to e-mail you a link that might give you some inspiration.

Good Luck!
