The box is really in nice shape. No holes, no abuse. But a real hack took place. Sad. I hate mods. You want uppers and lowers, buy a ham radio. I like radios to be set up clean and original.
We cant get internet service where we live. Using cell phone. I click attach files, it offers me just photos. I try to upload a pdf, it stops at about 15% and then the percentage disappears. I click post and it only puts up my conversation.
These are pics I took this afternoon. Maybe you can see something missing. Notice the capacitor soldered onto the filter stack that connects to a resistor? Below and slightly to the right of L13. I have not touched ct1 or ct2 yet. Cant get past first base.

The 10.240 is 10.24002. The one up by L13 is glued over the numbers but has 3 legs so its not really an oscillator crystal... A...
