Patient: Fisher 700T Solid-state US-made Receiver from the mid-60s.
Source: Vintage Radio Swap-meet, Parsipanny, NJ
Cost: $5 at the afterwards-auction
Discovered Problem: Saturated with steel-wool shavings.
Symptoms: Right channel distorted (I cleaned what I saw, but
discovered that the shavings got as far as transistor sockets), and
the FM goes in and out. When in, its fine.
Weight: +/- 25 pounds. 30# boxed for shipment.

For the cost of shipping, I will send it to the first taker. The
deadline is Noon tomorrow, EDT. Shipping will be by FedEx ground or
USPS Parcel Post, whichever is cheaper based on the weight. So use a
calculator to your Zip-code from 19095.

Yes, it has all its knobs. If no one wants it, I will flog the knobs
and dump the rest. Life is too short to deal with this given the rest
of the stuff in the queue.

Thanks in advance.

Why would I recycle your mistake?

It's a good reciever for someone with the time to deal with it. A few
years ago when I had many fewer projects I'd have taken it on.

Yes, me too but the steel wool shavings make me nervous ;)

Um... no reason at all. But all-and-at-the-same-time... no reason to
make such a post either.

As to it being a mistake, when I realize the expected $30+ which is
the going-rate for the knob-set, the $10 for the dial face, and
perhaps find a new home for the transformer, that mistake will at
least be covered in direct costs + some.

The point being that someone may want that receiver intact. So I made
the offer. If it offends you, sue me.

Giant magnet from Acme?

Steel wool shavings -- or zinc coming off the components and
plating? Zinc migration is a real problem in some of that
equipment.

No offense. Good deal on the knobs and dial face!

Magnetic... steel wool. Anyway, no zinc, lots-O-cadmium. There are
remedies for that which are far easier to apply than to the steel
wool.
