I hesitated before disassembling the tuning gang, but that is the best way to paint the housing, and it was easy to dismantle:

I used abrasives and Naval Jelley, then the chrome paint I think I first used on the chassis for our Crosley grandfather clock radio. I ran out of daylight and energy, so the base chassis still needs to be cleaned.

I also had time to clean and paint the chassis. It looks so good that I may just leave the transformers and choke chrome, rather than going over them with black. I cleaned and painted the aluminum cans, as they were also corroded.

Now, she is playing. I need pereform the alignment. The dial is off, and changing the 600 padded does not make much difference.

The tone is best with the control set so that none of the capacitors are in circuit, and is the same for the last two settings. Therefore, I will replace all three capacitors with much smaller value units.
