I found, years ago that the output transistors needed resoldering, as they ran rather hot. It's the ones with the heatsinks. Just hit the PC board connections with a little fresh solder an you should good to go.
Thanks, mate! That's two things I can do next Saturday, the other one is change out those two big blue filters. I found an old thread where those capacitors failed and caused problems. What do you mean RCA outdid themselves? When I saw this radio down in the storage basement where members can buy stuff, I fell in love, and did not set it down until I owned it. I even pulled the money out of my wallet with one hand.
