I simply never had a pushbutton radio, so....
The rightmost button is "dial" (I do not have the front panel to guide me either), with it pressed BC band receives fine.
Th next band up received one or two stations, the next one clearly sees the antenna input but does not receive anything...then again, it is a short 1ft wireand SW is not that good without antenna.
A wire to the vol pot was cracked (yep the gutta-percha) and rubbing against chassis which explained the volume variations.
Cleaned the pot, changed the wires.
The speaker has a buzz to it which goes away if I touch the cone, only at large volume. Well it is a salvaged speaker, might need replacement or recentering of the cone if anyone is good at that, I'm not.
Kirk!
The Ycaps (those from AC wires to chassis) are supposed to be Y-type, not regular ecen if 630V rated.
Geez.
Will try to align tomorrow.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
