Thanks Melly, That explains allot. I've been just flippin' switches not knowing what they do, stumbling around. Wasn't sure what I was doing or if things were working or not. I have saved that picture for future reference.

So, here is another question....Below is the top control panel on my radio. You can see that it is very warn. I have 4 radio selector switches, where you have 6. You have SW4, SW3, SW2, SW1, MW and FM. I have ?, AM, FM, FM?. I'm assuming the last one is FM Stereo. What is the first one?

It lets the stations pop in easier - I have no idea how it works - on some radios it does not help at all but on other radios it really improves reception

Ummmm....OK This is what is happening here....I am going through one radio at a time....First was the SK 900. Spent one whole night detailing the whole thing on the out side. I have now found my Deoxit, so I will be going back into that radio to get her up and working properly.

I have now taken the whole M70 down to nothing to do a full clean and repaint with my SUPER MEGA ULTRA custom paint job! It will get a few more special tricks PLUS a rebelting!

This should all be done by the end of the weekend....

THEN I will open another one!

You see, if I just rip through them all like Christmas morning, you'll all be bored and have nothing to look forward too.

And please don't take the nuggets...my wife needs them!

Here is the M70 primer-ed
