OK, time to start working on this puppy.  Its a little rough but I wanted to see if I could pull it out of the gutter.  There's a top chassis view earlier in the thread and here's the front.

Soaked the tube shields in Metal Rescue overnight and the rust came off.  They don't look great but the rust is gone.  They seem to have had a gray/green coating originally so I could paint them except for the bottom edge where the shield contacts the shield base.  Thoughts?

To tackle the rust on the chassis I need to take as much as I can off the top of the chassis.  The tuning cap was first after getting the mounting screws out with the advice from Ron and morzh in the previous post. Of course the rubber mounts were no good, although some still were relatively soft, they came apart as the tuner was pulled away from the chassis. Decided to soak the whole tuner in Metal Rescue although I did soak the pilot lamp mounting bracket separately. Still some clean up needed with naval jelly I think.
