Finally back to it.

I managed to polish up the chassis so that it looks pretty decent. After that I figured I needed to give the capacitor can (part 89) a fresh coat of tin. So I did a chemistry experiment. I think it turned out OK. The tube shields may be next, after the rest is done.

   

Which is the "red" and which is the "brown" wire in the photo below? Like a dummy I snipped the wires without taking a picture or noting which came from which cap when I disassembled them. They're marked as I connected them. I know I'll connect them correctly, but for some reason I'd like the colors to be right. I think the one I'm calling brown (bottom one) is really red, or was red 80 years ago...

There's a back that will be glued on to keep them from shorting in the can.

   


I still need to fix (rewind) the phase splitter transformer (32-7057). If I'm luck, very lucky, I'll find one at Kutztown before I start.

I also have a bad power supply choke but found a replacement on Ebay. Strangely, different part number, but the exact same specs according to the catalog, resistance, inductance and size.
