Finally finished the electronics and did a quick alignment. The "Off" switch was toast, so I used a Rat Shack microswitch in its place. All new caps, resistors, and all rubber insulation has been replaced. I didn't have to replace any tubes. It still needs a new escutcheon and some knobs.

Grrreat! I even thought for a sec, the way the stations followed each other, it was FM....

BTW, that last station was my low power AM transmitter playing a Pandora 'Swing' station. We've got a whole lotta nuthin' on AM in Tampa Bay. I rolled past the only two AM music stations here on the video, Radio Disney and a Spanish music station. I'd rather punch myself in the face than listen to Radio Disney.
I can't tell you how tickled I was for it to work the first time it powered up. I've been working on this thing on and off for about 8 months. Also, it didn't take much tweaking at all to align it. The sound is just about as good as my 39-45, but the internal antenna isn't as sensitive as the long wire on the other console for SW, even up against an outside wall. But it's good enough for what I want to do with it, mainly listen to streamed music in my bedroom.
