Airline Miracle 62-288 restoration
#8

Arran, the levers (or pushbuttons) are missing. The slots are taped over. I did not know much about the radio to even notice it. And there is not much hope I will find those soon. But the radio will work fine without them.

As for the caps, with this radio it was easy: if you look at the picture, it lends itself nicely to the discrete caps as there are only two, and the first one ideally fits exactly between the points where it should be soldered, and the second one is ok too.
As for the old cap, it is one of those cardboard jobs filled with tar and potted with the hard concrete type epoxy, I dealt with those just recently and ended up discarding it. This one I am going to keep but I doubt I will put it back. This epoxy would have to be chiseled out, really hard one. I decided to do this one quick, don't want to spend a lot of time on it.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
