Hi All!
Thanks for replies on the tube socket...I believe I have a way forward for that issue. After many many hours at the bench, I'm getting closer to getting this rewire and recap done! If all goes well, should be done this weekend (assuming I get time to work on it), and will be getting ready for the first controlled power up with the Variac and time of prayer. It will then be on to the cabinet restoration. I have a thread in the Cabinet Restoration area on that topic, feel free to give your advice there too...it is much welcome!
One item I still need to figure out are the rubber gaskets for the dial glass brackets. Mine are long gone...have the brackets still, but the rubber that helps hold the glass in place and keeps it from sliding around rotted away long ago. What have you used to make new replacements, or should I say, what have you found to be suitable replacements? I searched on eBay, and only thing I found was a set of brackets.
Thanks again for your help on this journey!
