A couple of pics of my progress. the tube shields and capacitor can look much better re-plated.
Under the chassis I have 4 resistors in the power supply section that still need to be replaced. You can see a couple of examples where I've paralleled a resistor with the dog bone to bring it into spec. The ones that need to be replace have gone down in value rather than up. I haven't attempted to mold or fabricate a dog bone look alike as yet. I may try with the power resistors. Also, the antennal coil that was fried by lightning needs to be wired in. One slight wiring error necessitated a splice. I didn't feel like lifting the whole tuning cap to replace the wire with a longer one. The end of the electronic restoration is in sight!
