It has been mouse free for 2-3 months (assuming the habitat store did not have mice too), but was in cool outdoor temps for the ~2 months I've had it...I sure hope I don't get hantavirus...
I plan to restore the Stromberg Carlson first and use parts from the Dumont as needed. The S-C doesn't even have a tuner shaft. I'm thinking I might be able to epoxy the Dumont shaft back together and do a tuner swap. The S-C chassis is cleaner, but is missing things like the tuner shaft, half the clear dial scale and speaker. When removing the Stromberg chassis there was some weird hangup in the cabinet, that I later found was a loose lytic bending a shield (which I straightened).

Once the S-C is working right I'll decide if I should fix, sell or part out the Dumont.
