Slow progress on cabinet
I finally got around to doing more work on the cabinet. It's difficult for me since I expect everything to be square and all measurements to be a multiple of a rational number.
I replace the missing support rails and made a new base for the chassis. The square hole on the left is for the speaker cable. The oblong hole on the right is for the AM antenna wire. The small square opening is to access the adjustments that don't need frequent access. I was forbidden to touch these as a kid.
There was another hole that could only have been used to adjust the tension on the CRT strap. I don't understand why they put it there since you have to remove the chassis to remove the CRT.
Maybe they wanted to be able to re-tension the strap before shipment, after the rubber pads conformed, or perhaps make it easy for the installer to raise the base end back up if it got shaken down during shipping.
