Hi all........I have had this radio playing everyday at work for years. It is one of the better American made FM radio's from the 50's. The other day it stopped playing. All tubes lit along with dial light. It was silent as space. Problem was OPEN 22 ohm resistor in series with  selenium rectifier.....good as new!   AL
