All paper caps that go under the chassis are now in place.

1st IF transformer has been reinstalled.

Coils are back where they belong.

Bad news: I turned the chassis right side up and noticed, for the first time, that a winding on the antenna coil appeared to be burned. I did a resistance check and, sure enough - that one winding is open. Icon_sad

I am hoping I can rewind it. It is the primary winding for the AM band, so (hopefully) it won't be too difficult.

Well, game time is in half an hour. I'll be back later, probably tomorrow rather than later tonight.
