TS-120 has transistor finals, you can blow that a lot faster than the tube 
radios, but it's a simple radio to learn. BTW, I'm cleaning up an owners 
manual for that radio if anyone's interested, not sure when it will be done 
but if I sit and work on it a couple nights a week, I'd say in a couple 
weeks. It's not very big and I did about half of it last night. Lot of 
pictures though.
