Well, I started working on this chassis today.

This is not going to be an easy task. Wires semi-buried underneath the tuning mechanism, plus the wiring harnesses which control the various dial lamps attached to the rearmost section of the band switch, the lower terminals of which are not accessible...yep, this one is going to be fun. Oy vey. Icon_crazy
