[OldRestorer]

Thanks for the info and I know what you are going to say, Dont turn on the radio until the capacitors are replaced. I have not learned to do this yet so i have not. I do have a 6' wire antenna connected but which screw? first is red, second is black, third is ground and 4 is unmarked.sorry to ask when you answered but i am no good with stage right or left....

As for the next questions: I need chassis training, I have been looking all over the getting started pages and found a few books for beginners but not sure which one is best for a complete novice.
   
   
   
Any suggestions or does anyone have one to sell me? Ill post it in wanted ads but i want to see what one to request.
