Lucky day, majestic 1250 find

Hi Fred, It is a Republic P-43.

Chassis is coming along, I had bead blasted the rust and peeling chrome off, I went with wrinkle finish instead of chrome, that would have cost me to much money and time to rechrome. This wrinkle finish paint looks great and is tough as nails, the shields where  already that way from factory. I'm waiting on a new speaker , in the mean time I going to recap and bench test soon.

Fred,

So have you totally stripped the chassis of wires inside, or you masked what's needed and then bead-blasted and painted?

I did take off the tuning condenser assembly along with the dial assembly. Then I masked off everything else and bead blasted the rust and the chrome came right off. I also blasted the transformer and painted it straight matt black first then masked it off when I sprayed on the wrinkle finish. The wrinkle finish hid the rust pits and I must say looks 100% better, new rubber groments on tuning condenser and this weekend I should be able recap and check for anything that may need attention.
