Todays super RAD ebay find bidding starts at just 10 bucks!

Comment by 3 String Blues on October 25, 2014 at 2:41am

Yes that's it, just follow and keep cutting till it stops, sometimes you have to try in  a few places, just be prepared to resloder if you cut the wrong wire, I have cut the wrong thing before and killed the radio ....but its around the antnne  that will silince it for just guitar playong

I cut what I am thinking you mean and still radio static and station. the tube is wrapped around a plastic tube that has prongs coming out soldered to board if the helps.

Comment by 3 String Blues on October 21, 2014 at 8:28am

cool, it will be wire wrapped many times around a small cardboard tube that looks like an empty toilet paper tube....follow it and cut it after that...it should go quite on the spot!!!
