A Zenith 8G005YT restore
#9

OK Kirk, I  took your advice and got a little more aggressive on the stag, although I did not use 0000 steel wool.  A little more cleaning and then some black Kiwi Shine and Nourish Cream is working out well.  I’m doing a little gluing of some of the stag that is lifting on the edges so will have pictures after the gluing is finished.  

In the meantime I rethought the front locking hasp. With the cabinet looking better the “antique” look on the hasp just wasn’t going to cut it so I got out the Simichrome and polished up the hasp.  The pic shows the bottom section of the hasp polished and the top portion ready to be polished.  The dremel tool with a polishing disk made this job a lot easier!  I think it will look good.  I’ll spray it with some clear lacquer before reinstalling on the cabinet.

I did also take a peek under the chassis while I wait for the cap order to arrive.  Looks pretty clean although I was surprised at the variety of brands of caps in there.  I see Sprague, Zenith, Aerovox and Solar paper caps.

The line filter seems to be a little  toasty.
