I recently picked up a model A-801 chairside radio with no appreciable cosmetic damage but for 3 missing metal pushbutton caps, everything is still functional however. The power cord looks original but cloth covered, was this the case? Ron or Chuck or anyone who owns this model, what other facts, or characteristics about this radio exist? Is the usual recap/alighnment proceedure strait forward? I've got some basic schematics from nostalgia air, so any problems or tips would be appreciated. Does anyone know where I coud find the chrome trimmed push button caps (3) to be exact, they appear to be unique to this model. Thanks, BOBC, Cincinnati Ohio

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
