Restoration of My 46-1209 Console Set
#1

In 2018 I performed the electrical restoration of my 46-1209 set that had last worked in the 1980's. The cabinet was restored by a professional restorer following a flooding event in 2014. Now the set is working great. It does not have the turntable, however.

   

The video summarizing the history of the set, my restoration, and demonstrating the set is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7FhCL4rjis

I made a set of station labels and clear covers for the pushbuttons.
   


*** Edited 2/23/2021 to replace scribd.com link with included .pdf of my report.***

Here is my report where I documented the restoration effort and bench testing results.
