I decided to gather up some replacement tube shield bases to replace those which were missing from the tuner chassis.
I had several, but they all had varying degrees of rust.
Upon Bob Andersen's recommendation of Evapo-Rust back in 2013, I bought a gallon of the stuff last year. Now I had a good reason to try it out.
It worked very well indeed:

I will be using the 1937 shield bases. This way, any future owner may easily use any type of tube in the sockets - G, GT, or metal.
