Hi guys and gals,
As I attempt this restoration project I am sure I will be here many times with some questions.Right now I am in the process of testing some components and making a list of things to order. I have removed the RF sub-chassis to start with as I figure it will be the worst part of the whole job so lets get it out of the way first. In doing so I have discovered a bad band #2 oscillator coil. I am in the middle of trying to find a source for this part or the info needed to rewind it. But right now I would like to know what kind of line cord to order. Did it originally use a cloth covered cord or a vinyl cord that is on it now but not original? That's it for now but I'm sure more questions will follow as I get deeper into this. It was previously butchered by someone with things being jumpered, components hanging, things disconnected and other abnormalities! I am enjoying the experience though for now. Thanks for any and all help.
