Hi Guys,
Thanks for the information. The radio was a mess when I got it. My wife did the cabinet restoration.
I’m assuming that the radio is a kit given the number of holes that were drilled and then redone. The escutcheon says Shelby but doesn’t match anything I’ve seen from them. There’s no other identification. The back of the cabinet had to be routed out before the rectifier tube would fit properly so I’m wondering if the radio was even finished. It’s quite heavy- about 50 lbs.
Further investigation shows that the radio only works with the plug in one way and then with the ground connected. Not good. Without a schematic I’m at a loss here. Thoughts?
I know I’ve wandered into the repair area of the Phorum without intending to so I apologize for that! Thanks again. - Rob Q.
