Ron: Your 89
#7

Ron, the squarish one, I believe it to be the 350 (typoed the 250). And yes, it is mostly working. As I said, dirty bandswitch, some FM alignment to do (perhaps a bit on SW, I haven't yet checked calibration), and of course the obligatory recapping. Otherwise, it sounds great, even on FM. (I love having my 100KHz-110MHz PLL genny... and it's got FM stereo capability, too.) Can't wait for the other one to come in. Icon_smile

This evening, I was playing with a GE 260 I bought cheap for parts. At first, it had no B+, but it didn't take long to find the problem. The solder lug inside the power supply that feeds the B+ out of the can to the filters had been pulled over to the side and was shorted against the can. Fixed that and darn if the radio didn't come to life, at least on AM.

I've finished the 89 for now, and it's put back together. I'm trying to do a repair on the tuning knob I found for it, and will post a pic of the finished radio after that's been done. If you ever get ahold of a small piece of the appropriate veneer to finish the patch, let me know. Also could use a speaker mount screw.
