Thanks for the link to that fantastic restoration. It gives me the guts to try some of the electrical work myself. Those pics could not make it any easier to follow.

While mine is not in quite that bad shape, it still has something obviously wrong electrically and I hope that if I am patient, I will get to the bottom of it.

I'm going back now to read some more of it.

Here's a pic of my radio in "before" condition.
