My parents just gave me this and believe it or not, it has hardly been
used. It has the ability to use a remote control (they are trying to
find it), but right now it is "preprogrammed" to the stations they
used. I want to reset it so I can pick up the stations here (using the
rabbit ears).

The front has buttons for channel up/down, volume up/down. No dials.

Any idea how to reset this thing? I have schematics but no user's
manual....

Thanks for any help you may have.

If the thing hasn't been used for a while, I'd keep an eye on it when
in use to look for symptoms of failing capacitors etc. In any device
with those years on it, a bit of maintenance is probably in order.
that said, wait till the need arises and leave well enough alone. Just
be aware so you catch it in time. Good luck,
