there are people who work on them, but they most likely won't give out service ideas, that takes away from their income. You can send it off for repairs, or purchase a radio that works from someone on the forum. Check on the internet for services on radios, and call them.

FWIW: C3 units were assembled at GM Delco in Kokomo, Indiana. These days the Kokomo facility does computers, but they may have some of the older records. I got a schematic from them for my 68 several years ago.

I know I can buy a new one but then that will never be original and no fun either. And consider the price for a lookalike I prefer try fix the original one first.
I will try GM Delco
Thanks anyway

Delco
The Delco plant at Kokomo is just about non existent. Just a handful of people working their anymore. Most everything has been shipped south of the border. Have my doubts about finding any literature there. Haven't done radios for probably 20 years.
