Nice looking already, it is gonna be really nice when you finish it! That one has good bones!!
I bought a 20 piecemeal The chassis for$30, a poor but usable cabinet for another $30, have a fresh modern 8" speaker and a resistor replacing the field coil. (The correct speaker is too much $$on ePay and too much competition from other 20 restorers (and restorers of other models that use that speaker Was not impressed with the sound of one that I worked on.
Upped the size of the filters. Have to Try Ron's mod to cap couple the 27 plate to the interstage xformer. I will then try to put audio straight in, I bet it is sweet! Have been too busy with other stuff.
Re the finish of the chassis, I don't know if the grey finish is paint or plating. I have been a fan of Naval Jelly on rusted chassis that are not plated or where the plating is too gone but many of you are real experts (Phlogiston, your Zenith chassis re-plate jobs were awesome!!!) Someone had an article somewhere on how to remove the coil cans on this chassis but I don't remember who or how.
OOPS!! As usual, I didn't see the end of the thread. Fantastic job!! The thing is gorgeou!.
