Hello all,
Thought since the first 66 went so well,I'd try another one with all I learned. Radio works -- all caps replaced, out of specs resistors changed.
Two minor problems- tone control goes into a high pitched squeal when put in left hand position (less bass). Tone control was rebuilt. The volume control is very touchy- I cleaned it well but get very irregular control. I actually had this out of the radio and separated the on/off section and cleaned internal controls very well- they seemed to move as expected.
Any thoughts on either problem?

These problems are hopefully minor compared to the last one.
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
