I am finally satisfied with my 48-482. The saga of the electronic restoration can be found in the appropriate section. I'll just say, the problem was an error on my part, a miss-wired connection of a condenser. Fixed that and the FM volume came up to what it should be. I am running this radio with just the original built in antenna, the one that has the little metal tab that wraps around the line cord. It picks up as well as any of my FM receivers now, considering the antenna, and sounds better than all but my stereo system. I can get all the local stations BOOMING in loud and clear, and some fairly distant too. Well worth all the study and effort to make this old girl sing like new again.
