Ron's RCA 6T2 Restoration
#58

I've missed three of five days at work this week due to illness, so when I've felt up to it I've been slowly plugging away on this 6T2 chassis.

(Quick back story: Last week the dentist gave me an antibiotic for a sore tooth. It reacted with another prescription medicine I'm taking. After two trips to the doctor this week - yesterday and today - I'm no longer taking the antibiotic.)

I thought the volume control appeared to be a replacement. I was right:

Yes indeed, a Philco volume control.

I'm reinstalling wires, capacitors and resistors.

And, yes, I am keeping track of my work, thanks to RCA's under-chassis wiring diagram. A printed copy and a highlighter make this easy.

I have made a new speaker wiring harness, and have two of the three electrolytic cans cut open and ready to restuff. I'll need to come up with a third electrolytic can, though; preferably one that is stud mounted and has a solder terminal on the positive end. I might be able to restuff the third can that was in this set, but it was a replacement and restuffing it will not be an easy task.
