Hello Radio Friends,
I recently acquired a beatiful Sparton 827X. The wooden case is in perfect shape, it only needs a little polishing. It does not have a back cover (probably originally it did not have one). . When I got inside, I unfortunately found out that the original RF block unit (with MW, LW and 2 SW) was replaced with something totally irrelevant. Now I need to restore this radio to make it operate as it was originally intended. It may be next to impossible to find the original RF block unit, but I am not totally hopeless. Our friends from US may have it in one of their cannibalized radios. If I can not find it, what would be your recommendation for a second best solution? Thanks in advance for any help I can get.
