I think I'm going to call the pushbutton assembly good for now. It's not as clean as I'd like it to be but it's far better than it was. I figure the more I mess with it the more likely it is that I'll cause some sort of damage that would be difficult or impossible to correct.
Actually, there's already some damage. I don't think I caused it but it's possible. The two wires marked in the following image were loose on the ends of the inductors. I touched them with a little solder and they now seem attached, but still don't look right.
I have some questions for Warren since he's done one of these, but all input is welcome. Warren - did you remove the tuner sub-chassis?
It seems like it would be easier to work on the caps in there with it removed. Plus, I want to replace the mounting grommets. I've identified and documented 13 wires and a capacitor that would need to be disconnected. I figured I could wrap some tape around the main dial cord pulley so I don't have to rewind that. It looks like it has an e-clip holding it in. I could take that out and store it with the rest of the dial cord assembly until it's needed.
I know I had another question for you but can't think of it now. It'll come to me and I'll make another post.
Thanks!
