Zenith C-845: no reception on AM or FM

[Reece]

If a radio develops noises like continual lightning crashes, it's an indication that possibly the internal capacitors of the IF transformers have failed. These are remedied by removing the transformers, cutting out the bad caps, and adding new silver micas under the chassis. As long as your radio is not sounding like a lightning storm when there is no lightning, you don't have to worry about this. Just enjoy it.
