Big, Bad*s*, and ugly 660L
#60

Tnx Guys!
 
I pull it back out to figure out why the sm was misaligned to find that the mounting bracket was bent in such a fashion that it was aimed way above in dial escutcheon. Also lubed the door hinge assembly. The door is slightly out of kilter which in to makes it difficult to open. The screws in the hinge are countersunk so I can't really manipulate the door position so I ended up sanding it just a little. Now the clearance is pretty good but I think the spring that flips it open over the yrs has lost a little tension. There is an adjustment for it but it in a tough place to get to.

I think the latch may play a part in the door opening as it needs to give it a little shove to start it in motion. When it's shut the spring mechanism that opens it sort of locks, once the door starts to move upward it passes lock position it opens fine.

Got a call from my daughter saying that she is coming over later from school so I wanted to get the set back in one piece and out of the living room floor. It makes traversing to the kitchen difficult.

Did a little research to find the seller I bought it form back in '13 from ebay. I sent Mike a short note saying that it's up and running. Out of deference to him I tuned in the Boston (that's where the set came from) flamethrower WBZ for a few hours. They have a good strong signal here.

For now I'm putting to rest for now will see about the cabinet work in the spring. Yeah it still needs some minor things some rubber mounts for the spkr board and a bottom cover for the chassis (have the parts to make that some old skool perf aluminum) and maybe recone the spkr. Oh I did notice something different about it it has black knobs rather than the dark brown.

This is where it started:
