I'll just leave the chassis the way it is since no one will see it.
The diagram on Nostalgia Air is'nt that great. I'm having a hard time understadning it.
The speaker is round and I think I have an old RCA plug around here somewhere but I want to try to replace this with one made specifically for the radio if I can.
The grille cloth is right but stained and brittle. I looked around and alot of places are more for the more popular brands. I'll check out Radio Daze.
The current caps, Half of them no longer have the values on them or unledgeable and like I said, I'm having a hard time understanding or reading the schematic I already have.
Tuning Arm is the shaft turned to tune a station in. Might be also called a dial arm? Mines shows no sign of rust or damage but froze up solid.
I'll check hardware stores for the dial glass.
And as far as the battery goes, I've put 10 9 volt batteries together. Had 10 Everready's clipped in series giving me around 87 volts.
The dial cord may be reusuable. I'm not sure. Looks worn.
As far as resistors go, I replace them even if current ones are still good. Reason is that if I'm already in the chassis replaceing caps, Why not do the resistors while I'm there and get two things done at once? They're old and will need it anyway. Does'nt hurt and cheap insurance.
But even if I get new dial glass, I still need the dial sticker. It was gone from the begining. I do have pictures of it but it was falling off the backing which is why I went ahead and sanded it off to prep for a new one.
Thanks Reece
