Case 238791 , 12/21/2024. Chevrolet Corvette 1962 tube AM car radio.
No sound.
Interesting radio . Mixed technologies – vacuum tubes and solid state components used . Use 5 tubes and 1 germanium old style output transistor. Tubes- 12DZ6 / 12AD6 / 12EA6 / 12VD8 / 12AL8. Speaker can be used with insulation transformer only. Modern speakers 4-8 ohm will not work.
We changed illumination bulb, paper capacitor 1000 uf x 6 v , multi-section aluminum cap . Aluminum cap shell was removed , opened , internals removed, new small 3 modern capacitors inserted inside old aluminum can. Can has been glued to chassis by Power grab. Mechanical moving parts lubricated, board cleaned. All tube tested ok , even after 63 years. Respect to quality product from RCA and Silvertone tube production companies .
