While waiting on some parts for the 610, I decided to tackle an "easy AA5". Uh huh... Ok, I have had this for close to 20 years and never plugged in. I had a model 60 when I was young and was the first radio I ever repaired successfully. Long gone now. Anyway, this is a decades old Ebay find. I purchased it to 'replace' mine, but it isn't quite the same. I did a slow power up and got a whole lotta nothin. I buzzed the volume control and did get a hum in the speaker, weak, but present. Anyway, I decided to do a quick and easy recap and check the tubes. The converter tube 12SA7 checked marginal, and the 1st af/det tube (12SQ7) - flat. All others ok. I have the conv tube, but the 1st af seems a little more scarce.

Here's some pics of this project:
