Thanks Chuck and all who've responded so far. I agree with Chuck about radio engineering 70 plus years ago. The last thing on their mind when designing these chassis was to make it easy for old radio buffs like us to restore the set. I sort of wonder how long in the future they expected old sets to be around?

Chuck Schwark Wrote:It greatly facilitated factory production, but no good deed goes unpunished. ;)

No radio manufacturer then ever intended for their radios to last more than a "lifetime," (or the next model year) let alone 70-some years to be repaired/restored.

It's part of the challenge . . .
