Well, since yesterday, I have installed all capacitors, a new power cord, new dial lamps - and she's up and running...or, as I like to say, It's Alive!

Photos tomorrow.

The dial cord, which appears to be all there, fell out when I removed the chassis from the cabinet. It looks like the only thing missing is a spring. So I'll have to restring that cord and add a spring, and then it will be ready for a thorough alignment.

It appears to be working on all bands. As an extra added bonus, the second preset pushbutton (third from left - the first button turns the set off) was already set to AM 740 in Toronto. Icon_thumbup
