Hi John,
Thank you for the information! I am debating if I should try and
restore it, or just sell it. The restore process looks like a bit of
work, so I may be inclined to sell it. I know it worked 25 years ago,
as I had it on then. However I do not want to put power to it until I
fully understand the ramifications of that process. It is dusty, but
otherwise looks pretty close to new, so It might make a nice addition
to teh shack here...
If I power it, I will remove the HV filter and try and reform it
first. THANKS for that tip!!
