Thanks Eric!
That is a great picture. I'll be amazed if my looks anywhere near that good!
I'll try pulling that tuner this weekend and see what I can do. There's a lot of play in it so I hope some new grommets take care of that.
My corner mounts are smashed flat as you can imagine so I'll get some new ones from R.R. too.
Here's a closeup of my tuner and that plate. That should give you some idea how filthy this set was. I'll take some better photos when I pull the tuner.
It looks like there's a section missing from the tuner. Do you think that's a problem?
More photos here.
Finally, here's a
little video I made showing the cabinet and chassis.
I almost didn't pick up this set but the more I work on it the more I like it. It's a real solid design like the old RCAs with separate video and audio IF amplifiers.
