I really want to understand old radios.
#11

Well, good luck finding a volume control. I have no idea how hard it would be to find one.

Just took the one from the 60 partway apart, so I could squirt some cleaner in. About to tackle the band switch, which was frozen, have recapped and cleaned out the tone control. Should keep me busy until my parts arrive from JustRadios. Still need re-stuff the Bakelite blocks, filter capacitor block, and replace about half the resistors. Evidently the radio played, but was weak. Luckily the antenna xfmr and feed back coil of the osc ohm out OK.

Hey, it says up there under your name you are an expert. Can I put you on my list of people to bother if I get stuck?

I may not be very good, but I'm slow.
