Chassis Porn!!!!

I have the exact same chassis on the bench (for a long time actually). This one was mouse eaten and peed on. Yours is a lot nicer.

I did replace some wires but also on some of them I just lifted one end and slid a piece of insulating tubing (spaghetti) onto the wire. Or, you can use clear shrink tubing, about the same price per foot. It would be a hassle to rewire the entire radio. I'm doing this one for a friend and didn't want to spend the time.

You probably have some bad caps in the signal path, unless the band switch is dirty. Very common to get an old radio that picks up no stations at first. Recap and try again, you might be surprised.
