Let the games begin!

This morning I started work on the 37-690 power / amp chassis.

Here's what it looked like fresh out of the cabinet:

Yikes - lots of rust, dirt and cobwebs!

For those who like to follow along, here's a copy of Philco Service Bulletin No. 267.pdf.

My first step was to review as many previous 37-690 restoration threads on the Phorum as I could find. As usual tons of useful information and photos!
Please let me know if I've missed yours.
