Today I removed the 7 pin miniature socket modification, and rewired things in preparation for when my Hammarlund FS-35-C arrives.

I also replaced the 4 section electrolytic condenser can, 10-10-10 MFD 450 V and 20 MFD 25V, with one I had in stock 20-20-20-20 MFD 475 V.

I put the clip back, but have not re-mounted the can because of the volume control work I will have to do. I suppose the next thing I will tackle is cleaning off the topside of the chassis which has quite a layer of grimy dust on it. I really can't do much more until more parts arrive. If, by some remote chance, we get a fairly warm day, over 60F, I may take a wire wheel to the outer cabinet, then prime it, and give it a fresh coat of silver paint. I am reluctant to repaint the faceplate or the cowling that goes around the frequency dials and S meter. despite some scratches and wear. The faceplate is the light grey with "Hammarlund" and "HQ-129-X" in RED lettering, and the cowling is the original light blue, which marks this as one of the first run of this somewhat historic radio.
