Thanks. Looks like yours is in pretty good shape. Mine's a bit chipped up and alligatoring.
I'm heading out to Menards - I'll see if they have any sticky feet.

Phil - I have the "oil derrick" too The rubber band and pulley on my set allow for a concentric fine tuning control.



Good luck with your set. I think I'll make mine my "winter project". It's nice to have someone to compare notes with.

If a photo finish has little scrapes down to the white paper backing, you can conceal them with brown oil paints and a fine artist brush. Then lacquer over, and the cabinet will pass the six-foot walk-by test.

Here's the tuner after cleaning. Wish I had done it as soon as I had a raster. It wasn't hard to get out, after all. I tried to take photos of the innards as I cleaned, but it's just too cramped.

On my tuner, the RF oscillator tube has a round spring clip to hold the lead shield against the upright metal support. A twist of wire would work, too.

If you're not going to tackle yours until winter, I will have this as an article on my website. I hope to finish in a week or two, after some new parts arrive. Note to self -- that doesn't include replacing the torn cloth. I should order something now.
