    I'm taking a stab at fixing a radio. Something I've never done before and immediately makes me feel like I'm in way over my head. I found a Tivoli Model One for really cheap and brought it home. The first issue was the 'crackly' tuning issue. I couldn't resolve it via the typical fix (moving...
