VntgRads He had it playing when I arrived. It sounded pretty good but I could here the hum in it and he unplugged it to load. So I won't be playing it til I change the caps and ck. resistors.
Thanks Jayce, I don"t know about the grill cloth. It feels flexable but looks like it was punctured with a finger. I guess I will replace it with some from Radiodaze. I will have to look into the correct knobs for it.
ekimstok I agree, the radio did sound pretty good and picked up differnt stations when he changed frequencies.
