PT-26, having an unusual problem at least for me it is. I have the chassis restored plays great outside the cabinet. When it is placed it in the cabinet the reception goes crazy it gets completely distorted, remove the chassis from the cabinet it fine. This radio has the loop antenna in the middle of the cabinet it looks good as soon as i get the chassis halfway in it goes nuts. I tried to duplicate the problem outside the cabinet but could not. I am assuming the the radio is causing interference with the loop antenna.
Your thoughts
