I'm confused.Jim, if you haven't already come to this conclusion on your own; what you have there is what we like to call a basketcase radio.
I hope you enjoy working on it because you are going to be chasing problems for sure.
the real truth is that your radio is a classic and is very sought after when they are restored, but the biggest detractor from the value is that someone had their inexperienced hands in it and created problems that butcher the radio. things like lifted PC board traces, cracked slug cores, or damage to parts that aren't available any more will ruin the value of an otherwise diamond in the rough.
What im getting at is that you have a very nice radio there that warrants an investment in its restoration, but you need to be realistic in your judgement of whether or not you are the person to attempt it.
also, the first things you should be doing are a full re-cap of the radio and then an alignment. without replacing the caps, you won't know if a bad one caused another problem and you can end up chasing your tail.
You will find a lot of good advice here, but if you don't go about it with a systematic approach and aren't willing to put any money into the radio; you will find people will lose interest in helping you along.
best of luck with it, you have a great radio there for sure.

A working radio on all three modes with a broken clock is a basket case? It sounds great on the scanner and appears to be on frequency. But I won't know for sure until Amazon drops off the freq counter on Monday.
I thought a basket case was one of the 10 CBs I have in a pile that smoke when you plug them in? This thing appears to have better receive than a brand new 980SSB I bought two months ago, and transmits fine as far as I can tell.
Perhaps my standards are too low for 40 year old equipment.
