Jontz;
Yes I painted the chassis. It began with a mouse nest infested chassis, many wires chewed into etc. See this thread in the same Phorum: http://www.philcoradio.com/phorum/showth...p?tid=7984 (Preparing 40-201 for painting chassis)
It shows pictures of the before appearance of the unit. It took removal of all the top of chassis parts, scrubbing with gojo that had pumice in it and a wire brush, some Naval jelly, some sanding followed by masking and gray primer, then the brushed satin nickle Krylon paint that Ron recommends. It was a time consuming effort. My son-in-law was amazed when he saw the results recently.
