So I won this radio on the bay and it was the usual "cord was cut" listing.
I took a gamble thinking i may get lucky but brought it up and it is dead. Icon_sad

I don't think recapping will change anything so put her on the pile of too inexperienced to restore yet.

The cabinet is pretty nice so just a cleaning there and I think I will leave the dial covers original since they are pretty good. I already have the molds from the last PT-69 but those dial covers were baaad.

Good news is................ I may be going to K-town!!!!Icon_mrgreen

I will bring my list of needed equipment and see how it goes.
