It took 2 days to clean the chassis using WD-40, nearly 400 Q-tips & a terry cloth--it cleaned up nicer than I thought as it was quite dirty originally. I had to rewire the fidelity switch back to what the schematic called for as someone in the past rewired it and it didn't work right when I first tested the radio. The cabinet is in excellent shape which is good as I'm not good at woodworking. This is the first RCA in my collection as I mainly collect Philco radios and have 2 Scott 800B sets and 2 Magnavox console radios. Now I'll have to find an RCA 816K to go with it. Ken
