Zenith 6-S-1-whatever
#21

And here is how the underside of the chassis looks at present:

   

The resuffed electrolytics are installed and (mostly) hooked up. I say "mostly" because one wire from the combination 10 uF / 2 uF can connects to the Candohm, and I have yet to replace the Candohm with new resistors, solder terminals and a strip of aluminum. That is a job I hope to accomplish this weekend, along with replacing a wire coming out of the top of one of the IF transformers and connecting to the grid cap of the 6K7G IF tube. That, along with a replacement power cord, some misc. odds and ends, and reassembly of the dial with new dial lamps, and this Zenith should soon be ready to try out!

I decided to order a new dial glass gasket from Mark Palmquist, since the original is very fragile and has already broken in a few places. That should be here by the weekend, just in time to reassemble the dial.

Finally, for those of you who like to follow the bouncing resistor symbol, here is the schematic for this Zenith, along with voltages and alignment info:
