Epilog:
I installed the Coronet in a period Fisher metal cabinet and took it to my home office, installing it in place of the Fisher 202-R tuner. The 202-R went into storage in the basement for now.
The Coronet played just fine, thank you, all weekend.
I sitll need to touch up the FM RF alignment - the high end of the FM band keeps ending up lower than it should be. I have some new plastic alignment tools on order; once they arrive, I'll repeat the FM RF alignment.
Then it will be time to start looking for one of those miniature solid state amplifiers so both the Coronet and amp can be moved to their permanent home - inside the credenza in our living room.
So that is it for this 100-T Coronet thread. Even with the FM issues, this was still probably the easiest Christmas radio rebuild I've done in the past several years.
