| This is a view of the bottom of the IF
section sub-chassis. Since I had decided to replace the wiring, I
took the entire main chassis apart, making it easier to work on the
individual sections. Here I have replaced the front and rear
chassis panels. |
 |
| IF Chassis: Here is a close up
beneath the 6Q7G 2nd detector/1st audio tube, and the 2nd IF
transformer. All the caps and resistors were replaced throughout
except for one mica capacitor and two resistors buried in the tuner
section. |
 |
| IF Chassis: here is a close up beneath the
6K7G IF tube and the 1st IF transformer. |
 |
| Here is a view of the power/audio
sub-chassis. |
 |
| Note that I spliced in new wire to the
transformer leads and used a lot of heat shrink tubing. |
 |
| The original phenolic grounded solder lug
broke, so I fashioned one from a piece of Radio Shack phenolic circuit
board. I reused the original lugs riveting them into place. |
 |
| Since I did not reuse the bases of the
metal canned electrolytic capacitors, I needed additional lugs for
connections, so I used another piece of circuit board bolted to the
other bakelite capacitor block. In retrospect, I will reuse the
bakelite bases to the metal canned electrolytic capcitors next time so I
have something to solder to. |
 |
| The 6a8G tube socket in the center
sub-chassis for the tuner/oscillator section is hard to access. I
removed this sub-chassis and then removed the two side panels from the
assembly. This allowed me to remove the two paper capacitors from
the socket pins and replace them with new smaller sized
capacitors. Since they both go to ground, I installed the new ones
directly beneath the socket instead of across the chassis as was
previously done. |

 |
| I have installed the dial in front of the
metal tabs for fear that the tabs might scratch the lettering on the
front of the dial. The dial is not warped. I don't know if
the tabs should be in front of the dial to guide it. |
 |
| I believe the paper cutout is to prevent the band
changing lever from scratching the back of the dial, and therefore
installed it in back of the dial. |
