Very nice! I finished restoring my mom and dad’s 40-180 and have now decided to tackle my old Victor RE 45 that has been sitting in our family room for years not working.
You may want to clean the cabinet with Go-Jo without pumice. It’s amazing!!
The chassis of your Victor looks exactly like mine. The cabinets are similar, except mine has doors on the front and an Electrola (Phonograph) on top.
Don’t know if you’ve worked on a radio this old, but the filter capacitors reside in one of the cans on top the power and amp chassis. Get a pot, put cooking oil in it, heat with a hot plate till the tar melts and pull the old capacitors out. Interesting!!
Good luck!!
