IT'S WORKING. I feel quite pleased with myself.
All the usual suspects are coming in on Medium Wave or perhaps I should say AM Band as this is set was made in the USA. I know for a fact that this set hasn't worked during this century and I suspect it may have been out of use for 40 or 50 years following unsuccessful repairs and modifications by a previous owner.
I still have quite a bit of work to do to get this set into a tidy electrical state and I'll have to sort out an S Meter. Then there's the chassis and cabinet work..........
Full report to follow.
