I have a few old radios similar to that one.It is true about some of the
electronic parts in radios degrading in performance over the years.I
wonder why? Moisture in the air gradually getting into the parts and
degrading them? I have been collecting old radios since I was a kid,most
of them aren't anything special though.Whenever I would see a radio at
junk shops,fleamarkets,thrift stores and wherever,if it's a radio I
liked and the price was right I would buy it whether it worked or not.I
own a lot of old tube type radios and transistor radios.Some of them do
not work at all,some of them sort of work and some of them work ok.
