All done.

   

And...It's Alive!

   

When I tuned in the local Spanish station, the speaker blew chunks from its cone! Icon_eek

I have the three small pieces that came off and I will attempt to glue them back with some fabric glue. But first I'll have to buy some more - I can't find my old bottle of fabric glue Icon_crazy

And I'll have to come up with something to patch the hole which the speaker cone already had.

Now, a video of the chassis in action:

Obviously the pushbuttons still need some more cleaning and lubrication, and the chassis needs a good alignment. But this one is basically finished.
