Today....the scratchiness of the vol pot is almost gone, it is a dull rubbing sound and not too bad. And....the click of the power switch became nice, loud and tactile.
So.....the pot will be left alone.

Aligned the radio. The IF was spot on but weak, due to at least one filter being aligned. The alignment made it way stronger.
Then the bands and - voila - it is quite active, even police band has three or so stations, two of them in Spanish.
BC has lots of activity with me for the antenna.

And...these Z speakers are something.
This one is small, but out on the bench it makes the whole tabletop vibrate. Booming! Can only imagine what it will sound like when back in the cabinet.

Tomorrow I will put it all back together.
