One thing I'd like to do (besides getting some pictures on this thread) is to remove the tuning condenser for a good clean. Holding me back is the fact that there are copper grounding ribbons spot welded from the frame to the chassis. I'd have to lose this original connection method. Interestingly, the chassis includes two tabs where it appears the ribbons might have been soldered in earlier production runs. Similar tabs are used in this manner at other locations.
What would the experts here suggest?
Cheers
Ed
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
