I am still having a few remaining (and stubborn -irritating-time consuming-intermittent) issues that I am working out, but in general, the 70 is now playing. The worst, and biggest hangup is an intermittent volume issue, which I "think" I have traced back the the RF side of the volume control. I'm not 100% sure it is all the problem, but is definatly contributing to fluctuations in the volume. At this writing, I have both sides of the control bypassed with a series of fixed resistors and change the volume by the antenna. I am looking for a solution. It needs a control. Cleaning seems to help - for awhile.
If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything"
