I'm finally just about done with this set! I painted the edges around the speaker by hand with dark paint.

The radio came with these long "U" shims under the chassis. I wonder if they are factory or were they a later addition to compensate for mushed down rubber corner mounts ?
I've replaced the old mounts with reproductions and the shims seem redundant now.
Has anyone encountered these before ?

Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response.
