Hi  MrFixr55
It is nice that the tuning capacitor is covered; it should be cleaner than the rest of the chassis.

Not really.
I thought so too, until I removed the casing. And it turned out that all the free spaces were filled with already compressed garbage.
But the most unpleasant thing is that everything is covered with a film of kitchen fats deposited and polymerized over the long period of its life. This is a fairly common phenomenon for old radio equipment. But the result is a coating identical in composition to oil paint. And cleaning it is a very labor-intensive task. But unlike paint, the filler here is not pigment, but dust. So if you want to make it beautiful, you will have to do this.
