Emerson 637A Restoration

Did a little adjusting today. Tomorrow I'll start the alignment.

Been busy with other things.

Here's a picture of all the caps and resistors that I changed out.

Update!
The chassis is finished. It's been aligned and detailed. The final set up will have to be done once it is installed in the cabinet.





I've cleaned the cabinet inside and out. I also polished the outside. I filled in the lettering on the front knobs and the logo with gold paint. I'll spray on a new coat of gold that surrounds the CRT tomorrow. I got the paint from the craft section at the local Walmart.

That is looking very sharp. Personally I'm not a huge fan of painting chassis and parts. I guess I just like seeing some patina on old things. I can live without the dirt, but all the little blemishes just add to the nostalgia experience for me. But I have to admit you have an awesome skill set and you make these look about as perfect as anyone could possibly ask for. The gold paint really makes that lettering pop. Overall you've done a knockout restoration.
