One thing I found unusual is the dial glass is lettered on BOTH sides. White on the underside and orange on the top. I have never seen this before. It took a llooooonnnggg time and a ton of Q-tips to clean that up as it was filthy.

This unit is going to present some challenges as I get "sound" from the speaker when turning the volume control or tuning dial, but no stations. So far I have only replaced the electrolytics.
