Radio Reception

[LL - NY]

The type 44's DO have an amplifier, I just can't recall where it is.
However, it also MUST be fused (Or Col. Klink designed the circuit). Any
ideas on what fuse it's on.

And, BTW, there is no easy factory style replacement. In Type 44's, it's a
trace on the rear window, (or a FUBA if an Avant) AND a trace on the
windshield. .
