No power antenna.

No affiliation but if you send your radio to Robert Pacini @ Precision Stereo Repair 6475 Stage Rd Utica, NY 13502 He can "hot rod" the internals of your radio so that it will play better than new and add an mp3 jack to the back so you can play music from your phone etc. He did it to my '80's original AM/FM/CB radio and I am very happy with it.

I can't tell you exactly how I did it, but I did it in my '72. I was quite intent on getting it out without all the other disassembly believe me.....

Default Antenna trim pot

Did you happen to change the antenna? There is a 'antenna trimmer pot' behind the station change ****. (tiny little flat bladed screw hole).

Is this an amplifier problem or a weak signal problem???
