I bumped the capacitance up on cap #11 by 100pF and that got me right down to 550 kHz.

Meanwhile, I'm moving on the the cabinet. The only really issue it has is crummy decals.
I'm very carefully sanding off the old ones, then I'll give the whole cabinet a light 320 grit sanding. Next, a little Howard's walnut ARF to refresh the color a bit.
Then apply the repro. decals and, finally, give it a few coats of fresh lacquer.

The grille cloth and backer was stapled to the inside of the cabinet. Some pliers took care of that.

The cloth is dirty, but intact. I've heard that K2r spot lifter works well. http://www.k2rbrands.com/products/original.htm I'll try to track some down and give it a try.
