[Pithicus999]

Story of my life Jerry, I jump into projects not knowing a thing about them (although I've learned a lot on this on in the past year) I have a college electronics book from 1964 that I got at a used book store which has all the components of the radio spelled out in it that I've been reading--though not recently. I just need to revisit that book and continue on.

I didn't realize I was this stubborn, but I am I guess. I don't remember 'Quitting' anything, but I tell ya what, this is definitely what's known as 'Doing things the hard way'. I'm not going to pay someone to fix this radio, that would sort of defeat the purpose in my opinion, although I will start looking more into yours and Ron's advice about finding someone local...although, would they be as willing to help me as much as I need it?

Follow ups to come, have a good weekend!
