Hi Rod, I'm in Washington NJ, not that far away from you. I've been fixing radios for about 4 years now. It's a great hobby but sometimes very frustrating at times but very rewarding when you get one right. I really enjoy doing Zenith am fm sets from the 50's and really love rca 6rf9s. I also like the vintage Panasonic am fm sw radios, really well made. I have had a very hard time with Philco sets, but do have 2 consoles which play well. The set you are working on and the 47 1230 are very hard to repair. As you know there are just too many buried components which cannot be repaired easily. Zeniths and Rca sets are much easier to repair with much more logical chassis. Have you ever gone to Kutztown ? What a great place for radio geeks. Regards, Bill
