Magnavox 1R1702 table radio

This is a cool 1968 all-USA built piece with a blue-green electro-luminescent dial like the instrument cluster on a 1967 Charger

As can be guessed, the mini-firecracker electrolytic was open. The result blew the AF driver transistor open (PNP-Ge, NTE-102A). I just got a replacement and cannot wait to plug it in and hear and see this in the dark

Oddly, 6 other electrolytics passed ESR tests
