It is worth noting, the letters indicate the year.

X-1967
Y-1968

Nice V-M, Mr. Mogul, and looks very similar to my V-M 1280. If yours sounds as good as mine you have a very nice machine there.

Bill

Thanks, Danny, I thought about that but I need to remember to pick some up.

Bill

It does look like a 49, I guess I might be a decade off. Thanks, Danny.

Bill

50, what year?

Bill

Thanks, Rex, that is most helpful. The funny thing, it is working!! I thought it was repaired, until I put it back in the cabinet. It was even playing in the cabinet, until I put the back on and then the kiss of death struck. While acting up in the cabinet, I started to poke around with my plastic t...

Sort of, but the solder did run over the actual connection. I have been trying to work on it today but keep getting disturbed. Maybe after supper.

Bill

Are these "resistors" normal resistors? Have the colored stripes on them? If so, is there an extra stripe to indicate the tolerance? Like none = 20% and red = 2% kind of thing. I would think diagnostic equipment would have a tight tolerance using "red" or even tighter if there is...

Think positive.

Bill

I actually thought of that. After 60 plus years of heat and flexing it is a wonder it works at all. The PC board sags a little
in the middle which is where the interlock is located. The 2 output tubes are located to the left. I will get back to it sometime this weekend.

Bill

Yup!

Bill

Yup!

Bill

Yup, as my luck goes, back installed on the cabinet and the hum is back. Here we go again!

Bill

Greg, from your comment I have two people in mind, either way the end result is the same.

Bill

Thanks, guys, but I am not out of the woods yet. Stay tuned!

Bill

Actually, after pretty much soldering just about every connection on the PC board it is playing just fine. I slipped it back in the cabinet and it still plays. The next test is putting the back, back on. That is usually the death step.

Bill

Hopefully after this treatment you will be pain free and the eye will heal with no other issues.

Bill

I am so sorry to hear about your eye problems. I can say cataract surgery is a breeze, had both done and everything is much clearer and brighter. I have also had a detached retina and an eye specialist nailed that back in place using lazier technology. Did your eye doctor offer a solution for your r...

I have been working on a Sears Silvertone table radio that was built by Arvin for Sears, chassis number 132-80001. It came in two model, 5020 which was a walnut plastic case and model 5021, the one I have, which came in a wood Early America maple cabinet. This was definitely a TOTL radio for Sears, ...

That is a great photo of Marie and her Buick. I was surprised from one time to the next that she remembered me, because the only time I would see her was at the car show and that was only once a year.
