Re: UNIVERSAL BIG 8 AM TRANSISTOR RADIO-HONG KONG

Leave it be if you have doubt of your ability to remove the case. If it works, excellent, you are a lucky owner. Most old radios have dried out capacitors and do not work, like two of my Zenith's. The entire back of the case comes off for battery installation. The entire component board is visible....

Re: UNIVERSAL BIG 8 AM TRANSISTOR RADIO-HONG KONG

Yep; in those days they used discrete Transistors, made by Zenith, RCA, Motorola, etc. With my Zenith's all the transistors have sockets and are plug-ins. Transistors were a USA only made product in those days. Does the Big 8 have plug-in Transistors also ? I don't know. How can I tell without mess...

Re: Winchester Model 94 Scope Mount ?

I don't think I'll do it.
My 1943 has no additional holes for any type of add on sight's, nor sling for that matter.
And it's going to stay that way under my stewardship.
