Hi Don,

Thanks for the great info. I've noticed other posters using Mohawk toner instead of stain. Does toner work better? I've never used it before.

Yes, it is a shame about the chassis, but I'm not giving up just yet. The RF and IF stages look to be all original and in great shape. The guy who did the AC mod actually did a pretty good job and used a solid transformer. He even left a note inside "Rewired 10-29-1939 by F.E. Francisco W8OUD" That area of the chassis was pretty bare to begin with. It's really just the output stage that's ugly. I think I'll reverse engineer it and draw up a schematic. I'll work on the cabinet while I ponder the chassis.

Thanks again for the help.

Bob
