Coating on a 42-PT Chassis
#6

Many thanks for the great ideas. I've finished stripping the case (reluctantly, as it is a photo finish). The case was painted white and was flaking off at the corners and other 'm thinking about spraying it with Perfect Brown Mohawk (left over from my 37-660). It wpn't look original but will be better than the natural color -- kind of a blond. I've been working at cleaning the chassis and have come to the conclusion that the radio may have been in a fire. Not near enough to get burned but close enough to get covered by a heavy layer of soot. That would account for the paint job. I think I'll take the tuning capacitor out and spray it with brake cleaner followed by a scrubbing with a tooth brush as suggested above. I can then rinse it off and blow it dry. Do any of you know if there are any internal parts on the tuneing cap that could be damaged?

Thanks,
Dick Finn
