OK so a little update on this radio, I did a full realignment on this radio, and boy was it way out! especially the FM, the AM was also but the FM was more so.

I have a feeling that whoever stuck that 12BA6 in place of the 12BE6 in the radio probably had some howling problems with the oscillator and was trying to fiddle with the controls to make it stop and they were unable to so then they just put it away.

Anyways this radio was supposed to have one of those capacitive line antennas, but unfortunately the antenna hookup lug is missing from the cord so the built-in antenna doesn't work on this radio anymore, has anyone had any luck fabricating a new capacitive line antenna connecting lug for their power cord on their old radios? If so what materials did you use?

Your help is much appreciated!
