Morzh,
Thanks for the reply and link to your project.
I am working on the original 1946 model (-121) and I see you have the later 1948 model (-122) with the PM speaker.
The line cord strain relief setup looks to be changed in the 1948 chassis. I read an old post from Ron Ramirez (RIP) where he said he used a Dremel to grind off the lip on these older chassis that the line cord with the molded on strain relief engages into. I will probably go that route and install a modern panel strain relief.
The old way would be to install a rubber grommet and use a U.L knot in the line cord to prevent it pulling out, but I would prefer a more secure solution.
BTW - How difficult was it to remove the tar from the electrolytic cap and re-stuff it? What did you reseal it with?
Regards,
PeterN
