I got lucky, most resistors stayed even though I bought all the values. Desoldering those would be a huge plus to the already RPITA.
Aligned the BC and IF. In fact it was pretty much in alignment. I checked the SW bands and decided they didn't need alignment.
Anyways, sprayed the band switch and the tone ctl switch with Deoxit.
Still on the fence about the volume control. It's pretty involved and if ruined.....good luck finding one. It has more than one tap.
Stringing needs to be tightened. And probably some bearings and bushings lubed.
It'll be at least another couple of weeks before it goes back into the cabinet, now that I only have weekends to work on it.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
