I have gotten some more work done on the cabinet, lookin real nice,  the sealer is still wet in photo . I have to sand the sealer with 240 using my air sander, then apply the final top coats of clear lacquer. I'm having to send the broken dial to radio daze , they said its possibly to make a duplicate even when the dial is broken, I sure hope  enough dial is there for them to copy off of. This weekend I should be able to finish cabinet, Dick Morgan said he did find problems with the chassis and will remove those caps causing the problems mentioned. Thank you guys for the heads up on the electrical problems that plegged this model.
