Hi all- just joined, looking forward to the sharing of enthusiasm and knowledge here! I'm fairly new to this whole thing, having had zero interest in electricity/electronics for 68 years and then I saw "Electronics for Dummies" in our library and now I'm all-in, trying to learn what I can from books, forums, FB groups, and finding and restoring old radios. I have about 1/2-dozen restos under my belt, but recently picked up a project that's quite a bit more complex: I need to remove the sub-chassis in this 37-630 console so I can get access to component replacements, and to replace the rotten rubber grommets holding the tuning condenser in place. I'm very reluctant to just start disconnecting wires and un-bolting things with zero prior experience in this kind of electro-surgery; can anyone here point me to a step-by-step tutorial, or any other reassuring process that I can slowly follow?
