Well, it's finished, at least very very close. The chassis is done, and reassembled. Amazingly, I didn't even have to realign it, everything was still perfect. I'm very happy.
Only thing I still need to deal with is that the insert on one of the original Zenith knobs got lost somehow. I have these that are the very same knob, but a different color. (Unless, of course, the ones on the radio weren't originals, either). Ah, I just found repros of the proper knobs at Renovated Radios, and ordered them.
As I said, I'm not sure I'll bother with redoing the cabinet. It's got some minor blemishes, but not bad.

Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response.
