Got the amplifier back in today, turned it on, and the sound was great, besides some hum and scratchy pots...Fortunately, the pots were at the right angle inside the cabinet to allow me to spray in some Deoxit, now it sounds perfect! Very full sound, lots of nice bass, with just the right highs.
I got rid of the old 4 MFD speaker crossover caps, one measured almost 6...
I had some polyester 2uf 100v's, which I doubled up for each speaker set. They will need to break in for a bit, but sound great already!
Both AM and FM stations do play at the same time, one on each channel, which was mentioned in earlier posts, thanks again everyone for pointing that out-
There are neat dual pilot lamps for the radio, one for AM, and one for FM, with an additional pilot lamp at the bottom of the cabinet that shows through a nice red jeweled lens on the speaker grill.
The picture on the set is very nice, but the bottom of the picture is shrunk a bit; at first I thought it was the vertical tube, but it measured strong with no shorts.
The centering didn't make a difference when I tried adjusting it, only for the top of the picture, and there is no vertical height, or linearity adjustment, so I'm not quite sure what could get rid of it...
(The photo I took makes the picture look washed out, but it's not, I had to brighten the photo to show the shrinkage.)
