Bill , Thanks , between you and Terry I am sold. It just does'nt seem like it would be that way .So I had to hear from someone with experience on it. I just got done with a 1934 Ge (rca chasis ) that beat me up some .
Took a little doing to get it going .I am already beyound my limit in room for radios except at camp where there is no power . So this one is going there for weather updates mostly . I will still keep my modern radio there also . Point being I am going say I'll not start this radio right away. As you know from doing this that in couple of days I will not be able to resist !
I appreciate the infomation as always I think this will be fun to power up
when the time comes !
