Doing some odds and ends jobs on the 63. Wanted to adjust the AM radio trimmer screw. In order to do so on the 63 AM and AM/FM radios, you have to remove the RT side radio panel.
When I turned on the AM radio, there was a constant TICK TICK TICK TICK coming through the speaker. Further investigation showed that the AM radio ticks in cadence with the clock. The clock is original... not quartz converted. Every movement of the second hand of the clock around the clock face produces a crackling "tick" through the radio speaker.
I shut off all other electrical devices in the garage.... neon lights, TV, fan, etc. No effect on the "ticking".
I rarely listen to AM radio, but this doesn't seem right.
Any thoughts before I button this up again?
BTW, the sticker on the side of the radio says to adjust the trimmer to the loudest volume at a station down near 600 on the AM dial. I did so.
