The NC-60-Special is DONE ! I re-painted the cabinet, which was looking tired and had a few spors beginning to show rust stains. Cleaned it well with mineral spirits, then sanded it with 400 grit, and cleaned it with mineral spirits again. Then painted it with flat grey spray enamel, let it dry overnight, then baked it in a 200 F oven for about an hour to harden the paint. When it had cooked well I masked it with masking tape and newspaper, and shot the flat black. Then I let it sit overnight again, and baked it again. Meanwhile I took all 4 knobs and carefully scrubbed them with mineral spirits and a toothbrush to remove the brown staining on them. When everything was done, I reassembled the radio; put the guts back in the cabinet, and did final testing. It works and looks like new !
