Well, I got the capacitors today (from Justradios) and replaced all paper and electrolytic. I figured out how to string the dial cord and strung it. When I powered it up, I first tested the television input. It seems to work but the whole thing sounds like crap. Secondly, I tested the radio section without connecting the loop antennas. Nothing but a quiet 60Hz hum. The RCA magic antenna I got was kind of destroyed, I need to clean it off and hot glue everything. The C band loop antenna was in decent shape, and I can pick up some SW AM stations, though they fade in and out, but that is because they are sky waves and not ground waves. It seems to work well. Do the loop antennas for bands A and B need to be connected to get anything even though the antenna link is open so a closed loop antenna isn't needed?
Thanks.
