60b Chassis attachment
#1
Photo 

Well, I pulled the chassis from my 60b v2 and got a better look at it.  Some light oxidation.     Looks like some of the electronic components were replaced at the last resto, but I need to get a better look at the caps and test them just based on some of the other work that's been done to this thing.     Got a new power cord and 3 prong along with an RFI/EMI filter to reduce the RF noise from today's house grounding systems.  I know a lot of you guys prefer to keep them 2 prong, but with me being an active home inspector, I just can't get past that little guy sitting on my shoulder chirping about proper polarization, grounding and safety.  Plus, this radio eventually will be doing some travelling (more on that later).  I noticed that the chassis bolts had one missing and the rest were a hodgepodge, so I think I'll be buying 4 new ones.  My question is if the 60b used those chassis screw sleeves/spacers.  There weren't any on this one, but again, the work that was done on this one in the past looks questionable.  From what I understand, 14 or 1/4 sheet metal screws with one inch washers should work.     The tuner module is loose and I haven't really addressed the cause of that yet, but it seems that the looseness has cracked the dial.
I'm also wondering if that 121184 is a date stamp from the last resto work. Sure would like to ask the guy why he put crappy laminate and poly on the cabinet.     Pretty sure the loose tuner module is why the seller couldn't tune any stations.  We'll see.  That's a project for after tube testing.  Speaker looks and sounds good thus far when tested, but I may replace the wires to it.    

You can call me Jerry if you don't want to use my handle.  I get it.  Makes some folks nervous.
I have a finely tuned horse puckey detector.  Don't blame me if it goes off. Oldtimer
