Almost there

I'm done recapping except for the HV area.


Time to remount the HV oscillator using Phil's tips of using long wire extensions.
The 1B3 was weak so I dug out a replacement. It just happens to be the right brand


I'm adding a CL-90 as suggested.
I did a little test polishing too. It's not exactly bright cadmium, but is has the similar white powdery corrosion.


Cleaning the knobs in some warm soapy water. That loosened up the crud, but it still requires scrubbing to get it off.


I discovered this set still has a channel one selector. They just cut the shaft off short.
