610 Chassis Restoration
#1

This is my first Philco restoration. I have done other makes.

The rust on this chassis was slightly beyond surface rust, but I did not want to do a "frame off", because I didn't feel that in the grand scheme of things, that it was justified. I decided on a trial method and tested it.    
My method seemed to work, so I went with it. I used cola to dissolve the rust and small wire brushes. After the rust was brushed as clean as practical, I polished with aluminum foil.    
Finally, I finished with metallic wax.    
   
   
Now that the chassis is clean and shiny, I can start the recap and other chassis repairs!
More to come. Icon_biggrin

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM
