Ron, Thanks for your detailed answer. You certainly know your stuff. I sent you some pictures of my 41-256 for the gallery. I have a feeling the next radio repair is going to be the 38-620. The rubber wiring on the 41-256 doesn't look that bad, but I have a broken power switch and maybe a question or two about the BASS control. Besides, I have a spare 38-620 I got off of Ebay that I can use for parts or use as a reference if I get lost. I'm sure I'll have questions about that repair when I get to it. Thanks to all for your help. Tom
