Disassembly of the chassis is well under way. All of the coils except the FM IF coils have been removed. Getting the 3 panels out that hold the band switch and shield the RF sections was a real pain. The center panel is welded in so the other 3 panels had to be rotated to get them out from under the chassis lip. That necessitated disassembling the entire band switch and removing the FM RF coils.
I am really questioning whether I want to strip the entire chassis for re-chroming. A major job, and then I have to rivet everything back together. The EH Scott 16 I did was bad enough. This is almost twice the work. It would look great but the reality is that with it in the console and the top of the console hinged up, you really only see the tops of the chrome tube shields, coil shields and tuning cap cover. Here are some pics of the chassis in its present state. Opinions on the re-chrome appreciated!
