Why bother? You can't find any AM music from

More and more I find out about old Radios the tubes are the parts that work
the best. It is the old CAPs that you have watch out for, and the mechanical
parts. I tossed two old radios since the dial cords broke as well as other
major problems.
?? Aside from corrosion and broken dials, there's not much inhibiting repair
(of the electronics) of an old radio, dial cords are easy (and yes, I've done
some complex ones). Not to say that sometimes one just might as well toss it in
terms of effort vs. benefit.
