A few monthes ago I recapped/restored a 53-561 the set played great every time I plugged it in, I have a work shop/storage building I keep my radio's in and the other day I plugged it up in the building and nothing, volume was there like an amp with no input so I brought it over to ckeck it out after setting all night it again worked perfect, yet the same original problem after a night in the building. I have come to the conclusion that the cold damp conditions disable the set. has anyone encountered this problem and is there a fix?
