Well guy's,I got the 16x radio home and tried it.
It works like a charm.
The guy that I bought it from did not know how to operate it.
Ends up it was on the shortwave band with no antenna,so he could not pick up any stations.
Sounds great.No hum.
I will re-cap it when I get time and clean the tuner and switches.
Anybody know what the toggle switch on the side of the cabinet is for?
Makes no difference if its switched on or not.
That red tuner light is really cool.
Thanks,
murf
