Yes some years back this little radio played just fine on my bench, used 6v batt charger as power supply. Right now I'm just collecting input re. how to approach this job, not ready to dig in at the moment.
I've had some basic electronics, USN and some work at calibration lab. Light on theory heavy on melting solder and applying "the smoke test". My specialty back in the day was refered to as "Easter Egging", swapping components until you fixed it or it burned up. When sonar gear started making noise we'd head to the forward room with a box of tubes and began changing until noise went away. We also tested the torpedo fuel for quality, wouldn't want it to go bad.
BIG swap meet here in Turlock/olTruck CA end of the month, will be seeking that Buick 12v. Are there any other models that can also supply needed 12v parts, Chev,Pontiac, etc?
Thanks guys
