Regards Peter ZS5 PX What parts do you need ? Nearly anything inside a radio of this vintage should not be a problem . Too bad it does not have tubes that can just be replaced. But then you'd have all those paper capacitors that need replacing, and maybe it's old enough that the resistors have changed value and may need replacing too. Like he said, there's a period when most parts in solid state radios are still readily available. Maybe that's after silicon transistors took over, I gather those with HRO-500s have had some problem replacing germanium transistors (and probably the germanium transistors need replacing because they've gone bad over time). But it's also a period before large scale integration came along, so the ICs are plentiful but common analog or TTL. I can't imagine anything from that vintage in the power supply being really hard to get, a regulator IC might be hardest, but I suspect it wouldn't be something hard to get now. The rest would be common electrolytics, power diodes, maybe some transistors. They can be found, and if not, suitable substitutes can be found. It's later that seems to be a problem.
