More on the AK 427
Got the pix to load. (Mods - had to do them one at a time).
An AM/SW two-band. Only up to about 3.5mhz.
Tuner drive is a rubber ring on the tuning control which rubs against a toothed plate behind the dial. Rubber is gone. About a piece of 3/8" rubber hose should do it.
A look underneath is interesting. Someone tied the local/distant antenna leads to ground. The shielded wire to the T1 coil which used to carry the L/D wires is also tied to the same ground. The proper ground is still in place.
And a headset pin connection was added via a switch off of the 2nd detector. You can see it on the back. That will go away.
Some hard rubber wire needs changing. A large potted container with 11 caps needs checking. Mostly .0x caps.
Volume control is all but frozen. Soaking right now.
And if anyone has a donor cabinet, I could use a little ornate trim piece. About 4" long near the top on the right.
