I forgot about the sound! I dismounted the speaker/transformer from the cabinet and plugged it in. There's only a bit of sound in a *very* small area of the fine tuning. Strangely, the FM works pretty good considering the only antenna is the one inch of twin lead on the balun transformer that's feeding the DVD player into the tuner input. It picks up half a dozen stations with no real antenna, although it's a bit distorted but listenable.
I haven't touched the sound section, but I suspect it will come around when I shotgun the rest of the caps and filters.

Man, I've had a blast so far. I've not spent any more than a half hour on any one session to make the fun last, and quite honestly I'm sure I'll be disappointed when it's all done and stuffed together. I've got a late 50s RCA metal portable that I'll have to do next.
It's not a sickness, is it??
