19LZX restoration
#36

I took the picture of what I saw while giving the chassis one last look:

   

Remember when I said this chassis is ...tight?
Yes. This tight. The first cap of the tone control is practically touching the grounded electrolytics mounting bracket. And the voltage there is the plate voltage. Safe, as all it would result in is the first cap getting engaged. But....so I had to bend it out. It is possible the bracket got moved a bit when put back in place. Still too close.


Anyhow, I put back the rear cover to the speaker cabinet and gave it a GoJo bath. 
I also sprayed the asbestos-lined metal screen with hi-temp finish, same I did for the Transoceanic.
Tomorrow hopefully I could reassemble the chassis into its cabinet, give the cabinet a GoJo bath, and it should be over then.

I have to say, it sounds really good. Not 38-690 good, but really, really good.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
