Hey Bruce, it has been slow going on the 54C. I have it mostly disassembled right now, and have been splitting time between it and an old Silvertone 6074 reel to reel I'm restoring for a friend. I also purchased a 10L ultrasonic cleaner, and used it to clean the tuner capacitor and a few other parts.

Saturday I put the whole chassis in it and it did an awesome job on it, getting into all the nooks and crannies. It also cleaned the wiring so I can actually see some color now.When it was done I blew it out with compressed air and then baked it it the oven at 170 degrees for about 45 minutes. It will be much easier work on it now.

I also built a rotisserie type of stand to hold my chassis when I'm working on them which will make it easier as well. I was missing one electrolytic can, but found one of the right physical size. I am going to testify them. One is a 12uf and the other is a 12uf and a 3uf. I just got a big cap order from Sal and hope to start that this weekend.
That hole is for a special switch device that would kill the power to the radio if the back was removed. I took mine out and plan to install a fuse holder in that hole. If you want the one I took out you can have it. I don't know if it works or not, but I'm not putting it back.
You can get a nice 11x17 schematic and package from Chuck that will help. That's what I did. I've been taking lots of photos along the way, as I hope you have too. Mine was highly modified and I may need to see some of your photos to help me sort mine out. Yes I am testifying the bakelite caps.
