Working from home gets in the way of radio restoration. I did get the top stripped, and experimented with restaining it. I'm not going to strip the whole thing, as the decals are in nice shape, and I value originality.

On the chassis, I was able to desolder the braids attached to the tuning cap bolts, and establish that they will loosen, and disconnected the wires from the antenna and oscillator sections. These are linked by a "gimmick cap" on the other set of solder tabs - something I have not seen before. Tomorrow, I'll remove the tuner assembly, and see what I have in the way of grommets, or rubber to make something for its return. Cleaning of the chassis can also be completed more easily with this stuff out of the way.

Cheers

Ed
