[atlghosthunter]

Had a "duh" moment today.  The only bakelite block that not been updated in this radio was the one that the power supply attaches to.  Got out the heat gun, got the tar out of it and got the old paper wrapped cap out.  Of course at this point, I had a nice mini mess in my work space.  Flipped the block over to look at the solder joints, then realized that the cap hadn't been replaced within the block because the past subsequent modernization of the power connections had resulted in that cap being abandoned and that my work was for naught.  Anyway, the tuner is back mounted on the chassis.  Was a bit tedious with some colorful language involved since I had to put the shoulder bushings in with two pieces and half of them had been trimmed a bit with the trusty Exacto since my local hardware store did not have precisely what I wanted.   Kept dropping one piece and having to fish it out carefully while coming up with language that my momma would have slapped me for using. The tuner seems to be much more sturdy in its attachment now.  Gonna blow out the chassis real well with the compressor blower nozzle since I had to use the Dremel with a wire wheel to remove some of what I had initially thought was "light" rust and it wasn't.  I should have the chassis back in for a trial run tonight.  Fingers crossed...
