Cabinet and Electronic Restoration
#2

Welcome to the Phorum!
Icon_wave

We have some very knowledgeable folks here who can help you work through the restoration. If you want to do it yourself it will be helpful to know if you have any electronics background or skills. The schematic and service info for this set is found in our library.

If it has not been previously restored then you will need, at a minimum, to replace all the paper capacitors, the electrolytic capacitors and any out of spec resistors. This set is not the easiest set to work on if you have never restored a radio. Read through some of the restoration threads to start to get a feel for what folks do. Soom of the threads in the restoration section might be helpful to get an idea of what is needed. I also point folks to Phil's Old Radio beginners section for some basic info.

You can continue to ask questions about your set and its restoration in this thread by clicking on the "New Reply" button. That will keep all the discussion within this thread and make it easier for all to follow.
