Magnavox model 198C restoration
#6

Thanks, Ron. I'll remember that in case. I used two main items, and, elbow grease.
I used brass polish for less coroded areas, and, for downright rust, light sandpaper.
I used pledge on tubes, and, sandpaper to remover rust on power transformer. I repainted it with flat black rustoleum.

Now, I'm bummed out.
Tonight, I just finnished putting it back in the cabinet, and, hooked everything up with the intention of bringing it up on the variac. I was getting controls set up. Went to turn the tunning. Icon_eek Icon_rolleyes Icon_sad
The thing isn't moving. It's making a noise, and,acting like the dial cord is now broken, or, dragging.
In any case, it's got to come back apart.
Darned, darned, darned, darned, darned!!!!
