39-116 Chassis Restoration
#4

Thanks Ron for the encouragement. I think I talked to you back in 2002 as I was getting ready to look deeply into the 39=116 chasssis. I even considered sending it to you, but thought it would be a good retirement project and now it is becoming just that.

I will probably need more help as I come to the volume control motor. According to my notes it wasn't working but was stuck at a usable volume which allowed me to make other checks. I was surprised at the sensitivity from my notes. I checked it out with a SG on all bands and it was surprisingly good. I purchased this set from a collector in Galesburg, Il, while visiting my mom. I hauled it back to Texas, then to Kansas and now its my next project.

i plan on a complete rewire with original type wiring. Can you lead me to a good source for the similar wire?

Have a great day.
Peace
bob
