The bad thing about this being my first antique radio to work on and taking so long to do is that I can hardly stand to look at my earlier work on it. There is a discernible learning curve to be seen under the chassis. I'm kinda torn between the urge to rework my uglier early repairs and the overwhelming urge to just bolt it back into the cabinet.
It's my Mother-In-Law's radio though, and she'll be happy with it just working. I guess I'll just leave it be for now and know that there's a strong possibility that I'll be working on it again someday.
Maybe the next radio I do will be an actual restoration instead of a repair.
BTW, thanks again to all for the valuable help and advice along the way. I learned a lot from y'all!

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
