While looking thru some of my parts I came across 3 supports that I had ordered from Renovated several years ago that I never ended up using. I don't even remember what i ordered them for but the looked like they were the right height. Took some perseverance but I was able to get them installed and they worked perfect. 

Unfortunately after reinstalling the tuning cap and placing the chassis back in the cabinet I found I had no sound at all. Took it back out of the cabinet and flipped the chassis over. Found I had swapped to connections for the tuning cap. I corrected the mistake however I now have very low volume. In fact the local flame thrower station needs almost full volume to hear it.  Icon_thumbdown radio worked with plenty of volume before so I don't know what went wrong.
