With the paint dry I could move on. Got a lot done today.

I finished the front panel controls. I decided that the "extra" Tone control and TV/Phono switch could be relocated in the extra hole when I moved everything to the left. Of course this control isn't accessible from the front pencil box, but that's ok. I'll use it to set the tone control on the bench. BTW, I eliminated the TV/Phono switching. Our TV never had it. I shortened the shaft so it would not hit on the front of the cabinet.



Then I had to shorten the Local/Distance switch mount. When I first tried the chassis in the cabinet, the switch was right up against the pencil box and needed to be moved a little further aft. I cut off the mounting ears and shortened the mount about 3/8". Then bent up some aluminum and bolted them together. Worked out real well. If it is too far aft, I can use some small spacers between the mount and the chassis.







I then moved on to mounting and wiring in the tuner and clearing off all the extra masking tape.
