I'm going to start this thread and then I probably will not continue it until this fall or winter for reasons which you will soon see.

If you remember, I found this RCA Victor 6T2 on the auction site a few weeks ago:

It had lots of dust covering the chassis, but no rust. Here's the chassis after blowing it off with compressed air (outside) and vacuuming it (inside).

The power transformer may have a problem.

Yup...more rubber-covered wiring. Some of the original paper capacitors were replaced over the years, but the originals look good enough to restuff - they aren't falling apart as were the capacitors in my RCA T7-5.

more...
