Hi That is a great job, your chassis looks clean. I have one of those radios and you are correct, it really pulls in the stations. I have the remote but have to rig some kind of battery for it. My stepper relay was frozen when I started working on it but some WD40 freeded it up. When I got mine the volume knob was missing some of the teeth, one of the guys on here sent me one. Great job enjoy Joe
