Hi Arran

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, those pins are of the tri clip style. Not very much room to work around the dial cover, but I will give it a try. Being retired, I have all kinds of time to fiddle with these radios and try to repair them. In our area, I don't ever see any of this type radio for sale. I will keep working on it until it's finally finished. I know it will never have any value to it but just the satisfaction of completing another project.

G.
