Success. Thanks! I installed a 158 bulb and it's plenty bright for my rural area. I cleaned and lightly greased the sliding surfaces inside, too.

Don't hate me right off for paying..............$5.00..............for this radio at an old electronics parts shop a few months ago. I knew what it was the moment I saw it. It even came with one original knob pair (seen in the last photo). I had a nice set of period-correct knobs for it that are now installed. I plan to remove the newfangled AM/FM FJ60 radio from my '78 FJ40 and install this AM radio in its place.

good score, and you know what those 60 radios are selling for now, big $

Do any of you guys have a picture of the workings of an AM/FM 40 radio?

Very cool - 5$ and a group of guys on here helping you bring it back to life. Really makes me wonder when people say "bench tested" what that actually means after reading this post.

Do you have a particular model in mind?

Made this for testing CB transmitter output to replace my old meter. High quality Bird power sensor, 0-25W, 2-30 MHz.

Working on this fine example of a very clean FJ60 radio. 86120-90A05, CR-6720AT. It was DOA. Found a shorted capacitor that burned open a trace on the volume/switch circuit board.

Finished up and sent home. Found a suitable replacement for this little guy, 4mm bulb with a plastic standoff. Sorry about crappy cell phone picture.

Do you have an FJ60 Radio Summary?

 

[Engineer8000]

The 60 radio would be the same.

I’m assuming what you guys are doing here to service the Toyota community is awesome but honestly, you may as well be speaking Mandarin Chinese...

Funny, but in reality speaking CCP might be critical for survival in the US in the near future.

Transient voltage suppressor diode used in many Panasonic/Toyota radios - amazingly still available from Panasonic.
