Old(s) Radios...
As some that might know me from elsewhere, I have a hobby aligned with our antique biz of restoring old radios (tubes to transistors) and stereos etc.
Im just wondering, what do you do with yours when bringing the car back to life? I do and have done automotive stuff (from tubes to transistors).
I took the regency out friday night to get gas and turned on the radio. It of course sounds like crap compared to anything today, but I noticed it sounded like *** indicative of a bad DC balance or a dry output cap.
So, aside from asking what you do with your radios, does anyone have old schematics of them? I can find the modern stuff and the tube stuff, but GM solid state - its like nothing ever made it to the 'net.
And if you ever need a source for parts or the IF transformer pointed out...just ask...(heck I have prolly 90% of what they would need in stock...)

Cannibalism! Its the cornerstone of the hobby....
Do those delco manuals have schematics in them? I always submit stuff like that to the various online databases so that others may live...

did they put the radio SCMs in the service manuals? if so, can I see an example? (I have never seen one personally in the chassi manual or electrical manual)
