Had some trouble replying last night. I think Ron steered me back on course now. I was able to get the condenser can off
despite only being able to lift the lid about 1/4". My smallest pair of wire cutters barely squeezed under there and I nibbled away at the bundle of wires until I got them all. It turns out, the insides must have burned up years ago. All the wires were melted together, eliminating any slack they may have had. A few slices around the sides of the box with a 1" putty knife and I was able to grab the mass of wires with my pliers and pull the whole block out. The dirty work is done. Now for the fun. I'll be studying all this great info Chuck sent me as well as trying to learn some radio theory.
Don't want to get ahead of myself but I got this crazy idea this morning. While thinking about getting this beauty working again I wondered, wouldn't it be cool to hear"period" music coming out of it? I wonder if I could rig up an AM
transmitter that I could plug my turntable into?? Am I really "out there" with this or are some of you already doing this?
Thanks for all the help so far.
