Well that was a heart warming and entertaining series. I want to see your father's cabinet for it.

I'm glad you enjoyed the series. Thanks for the comment.

Nice job bringing this vintage machine back to life. Should be good for another 100,000 miles. I'm sure dad appreciates it.

It would be interesting to see your dad's cabinet when he's done installing it

I built my AR15 back in January of 1971. Great Receierr. Went through many of the RCA 40410 / RCA 40409 Transistors, though.

Do have a AR14 model(UK 240v) duff left channel.put a tone in and probed along tracks.Buggered if I know what's going on here but watching your repair it's keeping me going.....😉

Nice thorough work you did there. It looks much better now.
Those dark brown resistors on the driverboards are notorious noise makers,
so if you hear noise in the speaker (also with volume all the way down), then suspect those.
But you probably know that :-)
Bet your dad will be glad and proud of you. Good job.

Too bad I didn't notice you had no cabinet, I have a spare "genuine walnut" real wood case. As an accessory, it cost me 35.00 in 1966

Awesome repair! You do great work! You need more subs! I need more subs! :) Dad blasting to much Zep and blew the resistors? Would be nice to see the finale product when you dad builds the new case. ~Jack, VEG
