While I was waiting for the IF transformers to get here I replaced the rubber bushings under the tuning cap. Have a few a spare regular grommets I fashioned replacements for the two front holes. The two lower bushing in the front were in pretty good shape so I used them for the rear mount as it's a bit more difficult to access and those popped right in place.
Shadow meter is mounted but need to route the wires back to the bakelite block where they connect.
The 2nd IF transformer modification is removed and the original is back in place and wired. The 3rd IF transformer is wired in (thx Ed) so the IF strip is ready to go.
Tomorrow going to test the tubes and attempt an alignment on the IF to make sure all is well. Found some rubber to retread the large hub on the dial drive will see how that works out

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
