Replaced #14 and #12. Re-installed oscillator coil, brought voltage up slowly and we had music- channels pretty much across the dial. Sounds great. Went to sit the radio from its side to bottom and radio stopped. Checked back underneath and saw a slight arc at waveband switch # 2. Wire is off. It comes from ant. trans. #4 to ? Will have to get the waveband switch down and look. Not sure about switch. Remember it was broke when I got this. I did repair broken parts but maybe more here than I fixed. Will check on this next time I can. Are these available or can they be bypassed? Not overly concerned with shortwave band.
Thanks to all,
Joe
