My upcoming fall / winter project
#7

Paul, I'm already taking pause. My cousin said last night, "that should be a straight forward repair". Sure Bob, that 1001 Radio Shack board I had as a kid was perfect preparation, I got this! But I don't at all in reality. My plan was to first replace the capacitors as directed by the two uncles, if I lived near the 96 year old he could guide me. It would also have been a cool legacy, his brother bought the radio. He'll have to support me on the phone, not particularly helpful for a guy who has no experience with schematics.

If someone could post where you get your parts and the capacitor order numbers for this radio that would be greatly appreciated. My cousin looked at the schematics last night and said it appears there are polarized and non polarized capacitors in this radio, does that sound right? Thanks to everyone for their immediate patience and encouragement.
