Thought I'd start a proper thread on this console. I have gotten much of the dirt taken off of it, put a new needle on the changer, listened to some records as well as my favorite program Saturday night. The FM drifts a little bit in the first 45 minutes of operation and the AM gets nothing but rush noise. I am still researching replacement parts for it. It looks like the transistors used in it were developed about 10 years before it was built in 1964. Fortunately it looks like at least the ones I have gone through so far are covered by cross reference. I'm trying to find capacitor assortments that would cover as many of the types used in this unit. It's studded with them. At least the turntable is right on speed and functions correctly, probably because the receiver is cool as a clam and doesn't cook the mechanism with radiant vacuum tube heat.
