I was cleaning the chassis on a Philco 38-C9. It was obviously in a home with heavy smokers, very heavy grime on everything. I then was cleaning the part in the photo that held the shadowmeter, scrapped off some of the yellow fuzzy stuff…stopped and realized it may supposed to be there. I already removed the fuzz from the other side of the part in the photo.

Did I mess something up, and if I did is there any way to rectify the situation? I’m new to this and have never seen anything like this fuzz before.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
