I recently restored this Westinghouse H-458T6. I was able to bring it up on my variac when I first put it on the bench. It played on AM and on the phono input with my phone. I then disassembled and found that the main can cap had been replaced at some point. I thought oh, maybe I will not need to replace that. But after checking found it to be bad. So I proceeded to replace it and all the paper/wax caps. Checked all the voltages and everything appears to be within tolerance. I restored the cabinet and fixed some problem areas in the speaker cone. Bench tested it with the phono input and it sounds pretty good!
So time to put it back together. Unfortunately when I hooked up the antenna, I noticed that the AM was still on when switched to phono input. Can anyone provide some suggestions for what might cause this? If this is normal, is there anything that can be done to eliminate it? I was considering adding a switch to the antenna, but I was hoping to get some advise from someone here before I make any modifications like that..
Thanks! James
