I restored one of these not too long ago. All the caps had to be replaced ant the antenna coil had a break near one lug.

Were you lucky enough to get a good pair of 183s in it ? I had to modify mine to use 71As.

As mentioned previously, you can get the service info from nostalgia air here: http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/do...029725.pdf

Note that it's actually for the 410/420 model but it matched my 400.

Good luck,
Bob
