Restoring this Model 1715 from year 1968.  

I've seen advice (from audiophiles) that these are not worth restoring.  Disagree!  I repaired a similar Westinghouse and it sounds fantastic.  Added a Bluetooth function option too.  

The 1715's  receiver just came to life today, after replacing the power transistors, electrolytics, and the blown power transformer and rectifier.

The video (not sure if it posted) shows the 1968 version of a magic eye tube.  Love it!  Don't know why that idea didn't catch on.  

Can't wait to work it into its SIX cabinet speakers, including a pair of 18" woofers.   

BTW the Sam's Photofact for this model is amazing.  A big help.  And high-res.
