Yes, and I will definitely remove those braces in order to have as much access to the parts under the chassis as possible. Of course, the braces will be put back when chassis work is done.
You're right, Greg...this T7-5 was among the first RCA models to use metal tubes. Since this radio was designed for them, I don't mind using metal tubes in this set and, assuming the radio works after recapping and replacing rubber-covered wires, I will replace the few GT tubes this set has with metal.
I forgot to mention earlier...it was just as difficult to remove the tube shield from the 80 tube as it was to remove the knobs. The shield was almost completely rusted to the shield base. Another casualty of moisture. I hope the coils are OK.
