Default Re: 1938 Radio Removal

Radio now in working condition! Took it to repairman last Sunday and on Tuesday afternoon got the call she was up and running. I was correct that it had been worked on in the past, capacitors and speaker replaced but then previous repair person found a problem they could not fix. Part number 15, the oscillator transformer was bad and was marked with red paint so after work was done and it still didn't work the radio was reinstalled. Fortunately I found the right guy at the right time to come up with a fix, also the vibrator was stuck and my guy replaced that as well. Heard it working on his bench but not back in car yet. Cabinet and parts are in excellent condition and tubes appear to be originals that tested good.
