The chassis looks great! Icon_thumbup

What did you use to clean that chassis? Although, from looking at some of your other Photobucket pics, it appears the chassis wasn't too dirty to begin with.

Two nit-picky things, if I may:

- You do realize those are not the correct knobs, yes?

- Philco stopped using cloth-covered power cord during the 1937 season and switched to brown rubber.

Good job with the MP3 jack, it is not too noticeable. Is it one of those Radio Shack jacks that breaks the circuit from the second detector when a plug is inserted? I installed a similar jack in wife's little Sony boom box for use with external speakers. When a plug is inserted, it cuts off the internal speakers and applies the audio to the plug, which carries the sound to the external speakers mounted in the ceiling of our patio out back.
