I picked up a vintage Pioneer SX-626 receiver last night on kijiji. It was in decent shape and a very good price, but it needed a good cleaning because the owner was a smoker. When I hooked it up, it got a lot of FM stations, even with just a length of speaker wire for an antenna, but the controls were scratchy so I cleaned them with NuTrol.
I also thought that it would be a good idea to spray the tuner ... but that turned out to be a bad idea. Now it hardly picks up any stations at all. Is there anything that I can do to fix it? Would I be expecting too much for it to sort itself out in time? I realize that this was entirely self-inflicted, but any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
