Jerry,
Thanks for the reply and the advice! I have absolutely no experience with radios, however, I am a fast learner and I have a desire to learn. I have such a huge appreciation for older things (furniture, art, jewelry, etc.) I would much rather have something passed down to me than go out and buy something...it just means more to me that way. I have been reading up on repairing the radio myself and that is as far as my knowledge goes radio wise. I have a small amount of experience with soldering, but once again I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and figure things out.

I did read that even with the radio unplugged it still holds a charge, so I am a bit fearful of getting zapped. Besides that, I am still researching repairs through a few websites and getting familiar with the schematic.
