My 42-360 is alive
#1

Hi All,

I completed the recap on my 42-360, plugged it in, kept the kids at a safe distance, turned it on ... and I was pleased to hear some wonderful sounds!!!!! Icon_biggrin
I was able to tune in a bunch of stations -- which came in quite clearly.
I do have a couple of problems though -- and I could use some advice as this is new ground for me.

1. I have virtually no volume control -- the volume is always blazing -- and oddly -- the louder I turn the volume control, the LOWER the volume gets! I did encounter a blazing volume issue on another set I restored (an Emerson table radio from the late 50's) and I ended up replacing the potentiometer.

2. There is an awful squeal when I am between stations. And the squeal is present for the first few seconds of warm up even if I am tuned to a station.

I would appreciate any guidance and input as to where to start debugging these issues.

Thank you -- and thanks for all your help this far!!! I don't think I'd have gotten this far without this site!

--Ira
