Crosley 52TA
#3

[Image: http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-as...2416_n.jpg]

Well, here is the chassis, all stripped down and parts bagged up. The chassis is copper and I'm considering whether or not to polish and clear coat it.

The speaker has blue masking tape on it to keep me from accidentally putting my fingers through the cone during dis-assembly... again. Next time, that will be step one.

I took apart the on-off switch/volume pot and did a little cleaning and lubricating. It works very well now.

I cleaned the tuning gang and noticed that the shaft rides on ball bearings. Pretty nice. 8)

I also found what's left of the dial pointer inside the cabinet. Unless there's a decent one out there somewhere, I'm probably going to make a new one somehow.
