Just an amusing note: I had just gotten my radio back for some capacitors and resister work.
I was in the process of turning the radio around so I could do some fine tuning when SLAM WHAM AND BANG, it
fell face down on my tile floor. [forgot how top heavy it was] I vocalized a few phrases that I had acquired
during my ten years in the Marine Corps.....One of the push buttons flew off and a tube popped out. I stood it
back up...put the button back on....tube back in...turned it on and voila....it still worked!
Now..."For the rest of the story....." The speaker cone split from the frame in a 360. Made a few new tears and all but pulled
the fine speaker wires out.
After a couple hours of slow and diligent effort, along with LOTS of Elmer's and a few strips of coffee filter; waiting over night along with
nightmares I am pleased to mention that all is well and working.
As hard as the radio cabinet hit the floor there was no wood breakage. That is one tough radio. 8)
Not bad for something that's 66 years old.
Just wanted to share that near disaster.
