Does anyone have a component layout for this radio.Especially the oscillator coil and trimmer.
I have owned this radio for a long time it is a good performer however the staions are a long way out from what is indicated on the dial.
Mechanically the tuning gang position aligns to the station markers. It has always bugged me and now being under house arrest I thought I might revisit it. I do have a circuit but I am lost like a lot of old car radios it is a dog's breakfast under the cover.
RegardsJimb

I don't work on car radios myself, mainly for that reason.
