Lee's 37-630 chassis saga
#1

[Image: http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn29/...crvgdv.jpg]
OMG What have I got myself into?
Thanks to Ron and Admins for letting me in...hope I don't make them regret it.
Had time today to start disassembly of my chassis.Had some words of warning and good advice from PA Radio Geek about the rf sub chassis and Paul Philco about Beer consumption and radio repair....Thanks to both.
Couple of hours and some head scratching got it out....everything labeled nicely.
Maybe not totally necessary but to me it seems like it will be easier.

First thing I found was exactly why you never plug in an old radio without a check up...right.

So here comes the questions...
1) the original power cord would have been cloth covered?
2) what gauge of wire?
3) Many of the cloth wires are damaged in several places so many will be replaced...what guage?
Will add a polarized plug and fuse block on the power cord, was just thinking cloth would look nice.
More to come tomorrow.
