This set doesn't use magnetic tuning, but I have a 37-10 console that does. Perhaps you meant concentric tuning ? I haven't actually done much work on the chassis yet crazy as that may seem. This project is part of my mad dash to refinish cabinets before it gets too cold

However, since I picked up this set I have assembled a full set of correct knobs, a good volume control and some electrolytic cans of the proper dimension to fill the holes in the chassis. I also have a spare tuning mechanism so I think I'm in pretty good shape.

The only thing that bugs me is that the metal tube bases have been mangled
Perhaps that was done to accommodate more modern tube bases ?

Another section is done. I've found it's a really good idea to spray toner in the same direction as the grain. Otherwise, you may end up with a checkerboard effect.

The changing grain orientation on this cabinet could make that a little tough to do, but breaking it up into sections is working out well.

That white stuff is just some residue from sanding the lacquer sealer. I can either clean it out or let it melt into the final coats of clear gloss.
