Well, perhaps you are right.
Either way I have to disassemble the knuckle and related parts to clean and seal it up. I am the one who filled the space with grease as per the good old book. I've thought that possibly the grease is separating and leaking out. Back in 77 I took the knuckles apart and installed new seals, wipers, etc., but not the inner splash seals. Doesn't seem to me that it would be illogical to think that they could have failed. Not sure how I'll lube the area when I put it back together. You got me thinking.
As far as putting radios back. I don't think so. If I find a zillion dollars, maybe. I did see an SCR299 radio as well as a PE-95 generator on the g503 site a while back. Not too much $$ (but they were not in working order). Those were the main components that the K-51 had. Would be cool, though.
