You're so right, Will. Everyone is united with one common goal... to bring to life these long dormant windows to our past. They're worth preserving. It's extremely rewarding to take something with decades of dust bunnies and cob webs and make it like new again. I'd be willing to bet my 89 hadn't heard any sound from its speaker in at LEAST 50 years. Probably closer to 60 years.
That band and power switch is quite a set up. Mine is a bit finicky in that it doesn't always turn off instantly. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for it to click.

I'd try replacing the bulb first and if that doesn't do it, then change the 35Z5 and see if the problem goes away.NostalgiaRadioTime — 12:28 AM |
