Airline 04WG-731B
#12

We did finish this Airline up. Since the multi cap electroytic was already missing and not available to stuff we went ahead and simply replaced components with modern ones rather than stuffing. Several of the wires needed to be replaced or sleeved as the rubber insulation was bad. Is now playing, not the best and much better with an external wire antenna attached in addition to the loop. The cabinet cleaned up nicely and after stripping off the lacquer, toning slightly and applying clear gloss lacquer, sanding and rub out it does look better than it did. On to the next project. Will be looking for a simple set for my buddy to do on his own as his first restore.
