I finished my RCA but I don't know about the grill cloth...
What do you guys think?

I did a full recap and only had to replace one resistor that was 500K and measured 1.3M! it was 5% tolerance too,, Eek... This was quite an easy restore since the radio was playing so well before.

I also restored my Zenith 6-S-511 which was a bit harder... We all know about Zeniths cramped chassisand the "touch a wire and the rubber cracks off" so I went ahead and replaced what needed it. The presets were extremely dirty and when you put it on broadcast it would just fizzle.. A gallon of cleaner and filing the points and she is all better....

The one thing I did not do was bypass the 6X5G...
Do you guys think I should do this for safety reasons?
I have done it before and I have it saved that you disconnect the wire to pins 3/5 and the wire to pin 8. Then add a diode and a 150ohm resistor at 5w in series...

Am I off?

Thanks
