Zenith AM/FM radio loses signal.

Hey Joe... how did you make out with your 1955 Motorola? Hadn't seen you around for a while, and I've been wondering about it.

Charlie,
Thanks for the suggestion. As to the status of the '55 Motorola, I've discovered the flyback transformer is going bad. I'm currently working with a gentelman named John Horvath at Amptech systems to try to locate either a replacement (not likely to find one), or someone who can rewind the old transformer. So far, no luck.
