Another 7G605 Zenith TO
#41

After powering it up today I got the local station. The pot was awfully scratchy, and so was the tuning cap.
I Trolmastered the pot with Fader Lube Deoxit, and used Blue Shower to clean the cap.

After some drying I found out the pot is no longer scratchy but there is a lot of hum increasing with pot rotation, which I attribute to some conductivity from power switch to pot through non-dried Deoxit.
I also saw little sparkies occuring between the pointer and the dial while rotating the cap (the dial was very close to the pointer at one side) so I re-seated the dial, and scratchiness got reduced, but a several positions it still occurs. I decided to wait for the pot to dry out before proceeding.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
