As a retired Ford engineer, I can tell you that few of those shenanigans would fly today. Too much tied up in certifications, plus just in time inventory control decreases chances of having excess stock to use

The radio (let's call it Phrank) does operate, but I don't know if Phrank operates well. Sitting in the middle of my stucco home, with no ground and just 10 feet of straight wire for an indoor antenna, I can get a couple AM stations with a lot of noise.

So I'll have to sort out the antenna situation before deciding if any parts are in need of renewal. And hoo-boy, is there a list of symptoms and possible fixes so I don't have to randomly change parts?
