I was busy most of the day working on an RCA 97T, so didn't get to visit the Phorum until late. Wow, it's almost as if I'd been away from it for a week!
You made amazing progress, Ron!
I'm glad those IF cans and Antenna Choke helped make it sing again.
Mark's Zenith Dial Scales are the best! I'm glad you decided to pick one up. It really makes the dial "pop"! Mark also has reproduction gaskets for between the dial scale and the glass.
You're fortunate that the discs on the controls are still intact. Most of the time the two on top are snapped in half from careless removal of the chassis (most common on the consoles).
Yes, those dial glass clips are tricky to get back on again and once they are, you wonder how those little things can hold that glass from falling out! I had the chassis laying on its backside to install the dial scale, pointers, and glass. Really no other way to do it that I could see.
They wised up and went with a much better mounting clip for the dial glass in 1938.
