I do. Just needs cleaned up.

I had one of those years ago and don't remember what happened to it. If I get my hands on another, it'll stick with me.

Congratulations on your find, I'm just happy to see one of the longest members on the site still hunting and posting about it. That take a lot of love, drive and passion to look at taking on a new project.

There is a good chance that a thorough Deoxit treatment will solve your stereo situation (i’m Assuming same problem on all inputs). Clean all switches and pots.

Well now that's a new one on me! Driven out of the house by audio equipment!

My fm problem was l301 low pass filter had bad solder joints in it.

Wait a minute here... Are you saying that your addiction to audio equipment has driven you and possible family members out of the house??
I find this quite entertaining and worth further review.
I am guessing the last straw was not being able to get comfortable in bed with the sharp edges of the latest gear poking you as you moved.

No the house is my shop where i repair audio for friends and the public. and of course my excessive collection.
