I called a c-list with no picture. Got directions to a rough part of town. Owner got there to open the apartment they were moving out of. Perched precariously on top of a large crt tv was the receiver. Owner said the power was off,great. Receiver had dropped off the tv at some point. Controls felt good and no rattles. Brought it home and plugged in. The dial lit up. Tuning with the 10 inch piece of wire showed signal strength and center tune. Hooked are pair of sacrificial speakers and it worked. Cleaned it up and straightened the knobs. I will need to source a power/ab switch. The ruggedness of these old beasts are amazing.
