Hi all, Icon_wave
Could you all give me a little insight on this huge monster. A friend picked this set up at a estate sale
for 35.00. Pulled the chassis out looks like no one has been under the hood,but will need a complete
recap and resistor check. Didn't know about the push/pull tuning  all the rubber O rings are shot including
the one behind the dial .What can I expect in performance out of this Beast after the complete redo.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
