Silvertone 4586 Console
#31

Picked up another chassis and speaker last week from a forum member who just happened to have one he was not going to us, so we made a deal.
His is the Colonial 4486 chassis where as mine is the SW 4586 chassis.
I went through it this week and it now plays nice.
This one had a bum power/volume switch and needed a few tubes and a set of caps.
Got a donor switch from a friend and installed it last weekend.
This one has kind of a touchy area down on the low volume end. Tried cleaning it with some switch cleaner, but it did not help much.
Mounted in a very busy corner of the chassis which makes it quite a job to replace.
Might just live with it for now.
Have a question about the doublet antenna hookup on this chassis.
What would be the best hookup for this system.
If I put a single wire on the dbl screw, I get much stronger reception as compared to the ant screw.
There is also a ground screw below the antenna hookups.
2 single wires strung in opposite directions?
Does not have the optional wave trap antenna that was available from Sears for a buck.
Maybe I can get this one put in the cabinet this weekend and concentrate on the other chassis for a while.
Getting nice outside now which makes it harder to get the inside work done.
