Wayne, Thanks..I actually don't know the state of the under chassis components, although one of the standing electrolytics is newer, smaller, with a sticker on it. I guess I oughta take a look, in case anything is obviously bad, ar dangerous. However...the DOILY has to go. I need to study the optimum antenna setup for this set. There are two wires..one to the ground clip if you are just using a long wire, and the other for the wire itself. Might be fun to build a cool loop antenna for it!
Thanks again!
