I've thought about used replacements, changes from factory, and so on, but I've decided that what I want most is to have my original AM Wonderbar radio working perfectly. I have an FM converter so if I want FM I have it, but I like the Wonderbar. I like telling my kids' friends that it has motion-controlled tuning, then wave my hand at the radio while I hit the foot button and watch their eyes turn into dinner plates. Usually I can get them flailing at the radio (it's old so it's a bit finicky, you know). Anyway, I want to use that radio, and I want it working perfectly.

No used radio is going to work any better than mine. Capacitors dry out, and these parts just age and need to be repaired or replaced.

I think I am going to use this guy. He sounds like a cranky jerk, but he seems to know his stuff.

I am interested in finding more about the person who does reconing in Jackson, since that's pretty close to me. Who is that?
