That Ace chrome paint certainly worked well on this chassis:

Yes, I dismantled the tuning gang capacitor to paint the housing.

I replaced all of the resistors and all except the mica capacitors. Some of the Philco capacitor blocks had been damaged by the hack who had previously worked on it, so I replaced them with terminal strips:

This chassis has a bottom, as it sits on two horizontal boards, not a shelf
