I've finished replacing all of the paper and electrolytic condensers on this radio, as well as all the rubber covered wiring. Fortunately there was not too much. I also replaced the volume control/power switch. I ordered one from Mark Oppat on the 12th, but it hasn't arrived; and, although I have written him asking if he sent it, I have not yet heard back from him. I also ordered one from Antique Electronic Supply at the same time, which has arrived. The shaft of this one is shorter than the original. I ordered a shaft coupler from eBay at the same time, and it arrived today. I cut the shaft on the new one so it went half way into the coupler, and cut the shaft off the old pot to make the total length equal to what the original was. I installed that today, and that was the last thing I had to do. Now all I have left is alignment, and finishing the cabinet. Here's what the underside of the chassis looks like now.
