Ron's RCA Victor T8-14
#21

So here is where I'm at on the T8-14:

   

As you can see, the individual shields are back in place after a cleaning and polish. They had some powder on them, which is why they were cleaned and polished (I was wearing a mask at the time). Not taking any chances in case the powder was cadmium, which is likely even though the powder was not yellow. They did polish up fairly well, and for now at least, they are coated with Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish which is a great all around cleaner and polish for metals.

Still to do: Replace the two-section Candohm (R18 & R19) near the electrolytics, and to restuff and reinstall the electrolytics. Also, it needs a new power cord. Oh yes, C32 (.01 uF, in metal cylinder) and C33 (33 pF) also need to be replaced. I've already removed the R18-R19 Candohm.

The three-section B-C Candohm (R15-R16-R17) was still good, so I left it in place. We shall see if it holds up well once the radio is done and power applied for the first time in...who knows when.

   

You can see the new grid leads on top of the chassis in the photo above. Those IF and RF coil shields were also given the Mother's treatment, but I have found that Mother's won't polish up those RCA coil shields although it will clean them.

More to come in 1-1/2 to 2 weeks...
