I finally licked the audio problem by using some shielded cable to the contrast control, aligning the audio coils and using a really good 25L6. I also soldered a little extension on the fine tuning control and grabbed the knobs from another set. I'm still on the hunt for a complete set of gold controls. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller ?
Otherwise, I'm calling this project done. Thanks for all the compliments and help guys
Here's a little
video.
Here are some before and after pictures. Ooops I forgot to clean some of that crud off the CRT before installing it
There are a few minor details left like filling in the recessed lettering with gold paint. I'm also going to print out some reproduction labels based on some from other sets. I think I'll try to make a new back and making an "M" logo too.
Time to finish that
Admiral 20X122 finally!
