This is a shout out for Bill who repaired my Model 366 AM/FM radio. I bought a box of radios from a guy and noticed a Model 366 AM/FM radio. Upon closer inspection I noticed it had water damage. I hate to give up on one of these radios, so I saw Bill trying to help a fellow member. I started a conversation to see if he thought it would be worth saving. It did not play, the buttons did not work, and dirt and corrosion was everywhere. See pictures below.
After looking at these pictures we still were not sure if it could be saved, so in the end I just shipped it to Bill to look at. Next thing I know, Bill contacts me and has everything working. A lot of cleaning, a used resistor, a used transistor, the buttons work and it sounds flawless.
Also I'd like to give a Shout out to Rob, RustyRatRod, for supplying the 6 x 9, 8 ohm speaker assembly that will be going onto the 66 Formula S.
