So I had this radio working a few weeks ago. Thanks to the rain last weekend, I decided to get the Beam Of Light working, too. so I made all the connections and powered it up. The light in the tone arm works good, but the photo cell is dead. That really sucks because I could swear it tested OK about 6 months ago before getting boxed up and put in a closet. Icon_mad

To make matters worse, I checked it again yesterday to do a good, long burn-in, and the radio stopped receiving again. Phono input is OK, just no radio reception. Icon_eh

We're heading up that way in a couple weeks for our twin grandsons' birthday party, and my Mother-In-Law is tired of waiting for the chassis to be back in the cabinet. She really wants GrandDaddy (now 97) to hear his old radio working again. At this point, I'm just feeling like I'll never be done with it.

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
