Hi

Welcome to the Phorum!

There are a few Phillips-head screws which hold the radio back in place. Be sure you do not remove the hex-head screws; these hold the radio chassis in place!

For further access to the set's interior, open the door where the record slides in. Look for two small conical-shaped metal pieces, one on either side of the door. Push these in and then you may pull the upper part of the unit up and away from the base of the set.

Please do be very careful while cleaning, so as not to disturb any wiring or tubes, and do NOT use any type of liquid on the inside of the dial scale!

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM
