Thanks a bunch.. I was getting REAL worried since I just ordered a bunch of resistors and capacitors for the 37-60. Just now I was going over the schematic for the 38-89 and comparing it to pictures underneath mine. Totally different. The radio was always at my father's house since the 50s. I slept next to it. It stayed in a closet since the early 70s. House was air conditioned. Color is good on the wires. I bought a cheap front panel to practice finishing. Finding that non acetone nail polish remover OR brake cleaner smooths out the alligator flaking without removing the decal (another post). Thanks again..

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
