speaking privately about the AFT tv radio ....

chief engineer for KBSU radio recently go through it but there is still a =
little bit of 60hz hum at low volume.  I could use a good tune up as I am =
not sure he peaked it while it was in his shop.  I have an old Philco 5 =
tube I want him to work on as it is one of the bvest sounding am tabletop =
radios I have heard.  It used to be my parent's alarm clock with an ac =
outlet in back for the coffee pot too.

> Dad still has a wall clock Philco am radio with a large 6 inch square =
face which I hope to restore some day as the radio does not work but the =
clock keeps on ticking.  I wish I could say the same for the previous =
radio.  It has a bit of hum but no clock anymore.  I do recall using it to =
