Thanks guys. After much cleaning,lubricating the tuner and working it back and forth, it's finally working smoothly. Now I've got to see if I can remember how to restring the dial...

I've finally got the dial restrung and all back together. Now to put together a parts order and begin cleaning and testing tubes.

Good work! Petrified grease seems to be almost universal in those continuous tuners.

I ordered the 470pf 15K capacitors in the hv section. I also pulled out the 19AP4 and cleaned the face and neck area. I also cleaned the cabinet glass and dial plastic. This set had layers of dust and cobwebs between the crt face and glass. I tested all of the tubes and replaced one bad 5U4 and someone put a 6CD6 in place of the required 6BG6 horizontal output tube. I'm in the process of cleaning the hv section and ordering the other caps.

Love these old DuMonts.

The RA-112 was one of the last good ones.

Awesome! Glad to see you got it. Is there any life in the CRT?
