The return of the Pink Panther?

[Titan1a]

I picked up the radio chassis today. I noticed a, somewhat sloppy, job replacing electronic components. I also noticed the repairman concentrated on the electronics and left behind replacing the tuning capacitor grommets and cleaning and lubing the vernier tuning: the fast tuning felt gritty. I took all the "goodies" to my cabinet man who will make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I get to order chassis mount grommets, fasteners and a replacement grill. So far, listening to my operating radio has made me happy.
