Thanks everyone. I don't know where my reply went. I must be clicking on the wrong reply or something. I was barely able to cut the leads with a tiny pair of wire cutters as they were all burned together and stuck in the melted tar. A few slices around the sides with a 1" putty knife and I was able to grab the wires with my pliers and pull the block right out. All dried out now, this must have smelled really bad at one time. Now that the dirty work is done I'll be studying all this great info received from Chuck and learning some radio theory as well.
Thought of a crazy idea as I was cleaning up last night. Thinking about the day I get this beauty working, wouldn't it be cool to hear some "period" music coming out of it? I wonder if I could construct some kind of AM transmitter to plug my turntable into? Any of you already doing this or am I really "out there"?
