I pretty much finished recapping this set, I'm really torn on whether or not to recap the Cans, it's working perfectly and they are running stone cold.
I was able to use the innards from an RCA focus coil to replace my shorted one.
It was really a bit anticlimactic to recap this chassis, it works about the same now as when I started, more stable perhaps and it's totally stable for the time I've been running it.
I need to replace or repair the Electromagnetic speaker, I subbed a PM speaker for now and this set has the loudest clearest volume of just about any vintage set I have.
It had a bad buzz at first but then I found a Capacitor I forgot to solder to ground, it went away after that.
The cabinet has been sanded with 800 grit, then with 3000 grit followed by a buffing with some 3M Machine polish.
After that I stained it with some Minwax Red Mahogany, it looks great but isn't super shiny, waxing it might help or I might just leave it alone, I like the smooth Satin look it has now.
Need to get some Grille cloth and put it together.
I posted a 30 second video of the chassis playing.
