The chassis has been de-rustified and polished, but is discolored and pitted in areas. Perhaps I'll fill in the pits and paint it someday.

I also finished recapping the chassis. Only one resistor was out of spec. I think you can spot the replacement ;)

More importantly, does it work ?

Yes, it sure does. I did a little IF tweaking by ear and it has loads of gain Icon_biggrin
