First Restoration
#5

Thanks for the responses everybody!

@PAradiogeek - I will replace those and thanks for the link. I will definitely read through the articles!

@Morzh - The name does not have to do with my condition. It is a combination of my name and initial….it just so happens to spell blind.

@jerryhawthorne - Very informative! Thanks for the attachment…will definitely look through that. I also did not realize that I could not power up the radio without the speaker, so I will be sure to try and locate an operable speaker. I will also look through some articles and read up on how to perform some of the preliminary tests and measurements.

Thanks again everyone!! If you have anymore info to add, please do so. (I could use the assistance)
