As soon as I have my hands on the diagrams, we can begin some trouble shooting. I think one of you offered to send them to me so that will be great.
In the meantime, I would like you to think about what you want to accomplish. Would that be just getting it to work after a fashion or a complete rework to make it last. Sometimes it is nice to see some life before embarking on the whole rebuild.
If each of you would let me know, I will make a note of that. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | well I'm nearly set to go - buddy brought his by, so I got 3 to compare now, got the bench set up, just gotta pump up the compressor to blow alla spiders and bodyshop dust out don't need a show piece, just wanna get the smoke back in where it belongs to get some tunes happenin!

All of the tubes light up, but I think it's missing one tube. I'll have to look at the wiring diagram and see which one it is.
I'm not looking for a perfect restoration here, just want to get it working good for my daily driver. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | I'm set up, so here's some pics for starters: \'start3\' and \'radio.open\' both have labels added - might help some of ya overcome some doubts! for the "missing tube" - one missing will leave an exposed socket, but sometimes "tubes" don't look like tubes - the OZ4's in the 3 radios I have are all different, one being only about 1.5" tall, and none are glass, 2 black something, one silvery metal - also check inside the cover, there was originally a label inside w/ a tube layout diagram Bill | | |
