The dial glass comes off, by removing the two screws on either side and then GENTLY working them loose. There are two rubber cushions that hold the glass in the metal channel. they may be melted to the glass and metal, the ones on my 190 were still in excellent shape. The wire springs hold the white backsheet in place. I cleaned the tuning condensor by soaking it in a bucket of Extreme Green parts cleaner for a few days then cleaning it with a toothbrush and rinsing in hot water, then drying with a blowdryer. I then used a small wire wheel on my Dremel tool to polish it. I polishe the IF and electrolytic cans with Mothers Aluminum polish. the chassis was extremely dirty when I got it and there was a lot of rust on the chassis. I used naval jelly to remove the rust and cleaned the surface with a Scotchbrite pad. I then masked off the chassis and painted it with Krylon Satin Nickel Metallic paint.

I didn't bother with restuffing the caps on this set, but I have done it on several other sets. I've started using beeswax to fill the caps, but hot glue works just as well. And yes, I replaced all of the resistors as most of them were out of tolerance by quite a bit. Hope some of this is useful to you in your project. Believe me it will all be worth it the first time you get it playing again, Have fun!!!!
