I’m down to figuring out fasteners - this radio is fastened with random collection of screws so
1) Proper size screw for fastening the repro faceplate from Renovated Radios - the pilot hole on the cabinet is .05 inches. That seems to be an 0-80 screw by my reference books.
It seems that a brass pan head wood screw was what was originally used.
2) Same question for chassis connecting screws. It seems to use two different sized washers.
