Suggestions on a Zenith R723 Radio

[Keefla]

The electronics seem to be 100% in order now. Replaced the Selenium recitfier with a 5404 rectifier diode. Rat Shack didnt have a 4007. This was probably overkill but its fine by me. Also added the 10watt 100ohm resister as was suggested to keep the tubes happy. The selenium recifier looks origonal with the wires still running into the chassis, however its electrically disconnected. I ran the inline fuse holder wires out through the same hole, and it sits neatly against the back of the chassis. I then hit the selector switch and volume pot with some de-oxidizer/lubricant (couldnt find any straight de-oxit). worked them back and forth a bit. let it sit for about 5 mintes and plugged it in. HURRAH no more crackling on the volume, and the AM/FM band switch is working perfectly again. Right now i got it running on my desk listening to 94.1 WHJY (rock/classic rock) and it sounds really good for just being a chassis on top of a honda accord shop manual (i need to prop it on something so the backboard with the plug would sit level.) next i gotta go online and order the dial cord, and buton it back up. Its kinda sexy just out in the open like this tho i have to say.
