Restoring a 46-1226 Code 125

As promised, here are some pictures of the chassis after vacuuming the worst of the dust off and removing a nest of dead spiders in the tuning capacitor area.
I will start cleaning the top of the chassis. Removing the mouse deposits will help with odor reduction and also make the unit less dangerous to work on. Mice are known disease spreaders and I don't care to acquire any of their equal opportunity diseases.
I note that this chassis does not appear to have any of the dreaded rubber insulated wiring. I have had to deal with some of that in other radios from the same period post WWII.
