I am back to working on this radio and managed to get a couple of radio stations to come in. But can someone help me to understand how these radios are wired to receive reception? I cleaned all contacts above the chassis, replaced the wire that was being used with a heavier gauge wire to see if it would work and surprisingly, I received a signal. I also had it outdoors while testing. Going forward I'm wondering if these radios will need the original loop Antenna in order to work or will a certain gauge and length of wire work?
I mainly wanted to make sure it could receive reception before investing more time and the owner seems to have tight budget.
Personally, I am enjoying working with it and would like to get it working.
