I have always loved old AM radios(and unfortunatly killed a few trying to fix them when I was younger), but know very little about electronics.....My girlfriend just bought me a fairly nice 46-1226-122(my first old AM radio in over 30 years) for an early Christmas present.....It was playing in the antique store when she bought it and plays decent now but does have a hum to it while it's on....I DON'T WANNA KILL THIS ONE TOO!!!!!....it doesnt pick up stations very well but there is not many good AM stations here in southern ohio.....I checked out the electrical part to make sure it was safe and everything looks ok there...but I don't understand all your electronic talk on here to know for sure what I should be looking to replace......And where to buy the parts.......Please help......And talk REAL slow so I can understand...... Icon_biggrin ...LOL........................Thanks guys.....Greg
