The old caps are starting to pile up nicely, i have 3 left to do which includes the tone control and the BIG condenser bank. Which brings up a few questions as i explore this radio.
1. Why did they bother to put rubber insulators on the tuning gang mounts if they were going to solder ground leads to the chassis?
2. Anyone have any procedure for removing the condenser bank? as in removing attached parts prior to removal. Or did you remove the bank with external parts still attached to it?
Thanks..
