Good morning. Great pictorial journal. It has helped me with the 39-30 I am working on.
I am nearly done with the electronics, but I have a couple of questions:
Does yours have a separate antenna, or just use a longwire off the Antenna screw on the back? I have located a guy selling repro laser-cut backs for this model, but neither mine nor another I've seen photos of have mounting holes for a back.
Do you have a source for the longer push-buttons for this model?
I pick up the power transformer I located tomorrow, and look forward to aligning it and hearing it play. I had to replace all the rubber-coated wiring, even inside the IF cans. But it was a great learning laboratory for me.
Thanks for taking the time to document the restoration. The couple of pictorial journals and YouTube clips on 39-30 restoration helped me a lot. I was nearly finished with mine before I discovered those, but I'll do a pictorial journal of my future restorations.
Regards,
Clarence
