Hi all- I started in on this little thing tonight. It is a spray painted (white) little 42-PT91 that was given to me a while back. I'll post a couple pictures tomorrow...but a couple questions:
How to strip this cabinet? The cabinet, itself, is in good shape, but the paint looks like crap. I did a little research a while back and think I saw that oven cleaner works?..
The plastic dial cover is yellow and scratched up....first, how do you get those clips out? I'm nervous about busting the bakelite...even if I keep this old plastic, I need to get it out to strip the cabinet....
And it seems the knobs were not original and are solid white...so I'll be needing some brown ones, I guess...
I tested the tubes tonight, and ordered a schematic and stuff....looking forward to this little project. Thanks in advance!
