just picked up a 42-380 today at a local flea market. it's complete, paid 50.00 for it. which i think is a good deal. it was plugged in and slightly working at the flea market. i got it home and was able to get it to tune in am stations by turning the volume all the way up. then i unplugged it and moved it plugged it in again and heard a sizzling sound. quickly unplugged it, think the sound was coming from the transformer. hope i didn't kill it. sorry i've gotten off track here what i would like to know is about the cabinet (any thoughts on the sizzle problem please advise) it's in very good shape. just needs to be cleaned with 0000 grit steel wool and refinished. what would be the correct color of minwax stain to use? thanks for any input on both problems!!
