Hello all,
I have a 53 3100, with the factory 986443 radio in it. I had the radio restored by Ray Holland. I happened to live, not more than 5 miles from him, at the time. The rebuild was probably around 12 years ago. Just about one year ago to the day, I installed it in my truck. It worked great. I have probably only played it for a total of 3 hours. The last few times I drove my truck, it seemed to have far more background noise that it did previous. Today, I was driving my truck, radio had some background noise, but was you could clearly hear music. I shut it off, for about 10 minutes. Came back out, started up my truck and turned on the radio. Nothing but static. I wiggled the antenna wire around a bit. Even pulled the antenna wire out of the radio. There was no audible difference, if the antenna wire in plugged in or out. Anybody got any suggestions?
I would really appreciate any help or advice.
Thank you in advance.
Rugo
