I guess I am not really of the right temperment to attempt this repair. So I need to consider my options on this project.
It looks like I will have over $400.00 in this radio when I am done..........
I already spent about $91.00 on all new tubes (because they were all missing), new face plate and push buttons came to about another $50.00, new caps and dial cord cost another $17.00, for a total of $158.00, plus $250.00 if I decide to have someone else repair this for me, plus shipping up to $50.00 comes to $458.00. It probabily is not woth that much, so I would probabily be better off to sell the cabinate to somebody and sell the new parts on ebay and forget it.
I tried contacting a local club (80 miles away) but the contact person given didn't respond,
I could probabily buy a nice working radio for 1/2 that cost.
Any thoughts on this?
