Roy------

Likely, either the externally mounted convector unit is not attached to the radio or the germanium transistor which is the core component of the convector has "expired".

Roy - the convector is a unit behind your right had dash pad, under the dash. It is basically the power transistor/heat sink assembly on the output stage of the radio....Craig

1968 and 1969 convectors are the same.
