After many hours of work I've finished refurbishing this radio for a high school classmate.  This was the hardest radio to work on that I've done.  I found lots of very useful information in related posts on the Phorum.  I'll be taking it back to PA next month to reunite it with its console.  See and hear it at https://youtu.be/o65XjW1TWEw if you are interested.

Thanks for helping me along!

Thanks, Pops! Icon_wink   I should have mentioned it was a high school class that graduated in 1966.
