thanks for the reply! I printed the information to read and study. would it be possible to take it to a local shop maybe a radio shop that could do such a repair/upgrades, I would be tickled to get this puppy going again, I have even heard of people getting mods where they could have a flash drive attached? I mean how many tunes are you going to get in AM now days. I figured if it doesnt get repaired it still cool to have in the car then for looks and better then the radio delete I have now. Very excited to have it now on the work bench have to say. it seems complete other than missing all but one tubes on the lower section, I may have to post some good pics and someone can guide me on whats what broken down for me even more. thanks!!!
