Hi Guys,

This chassis was in pretty good shape when I received it, aside from the normal dust, dirt and general grime. I use the same techniques on all my restoration projects. I cleaned the chassis with mineral spirits. The RF, IF, and oscillator cans are always cleaned with Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish available in auto stores. It does a nice job on aluminum cans. I had never cleaned any copper Mershon caps before and I was surprised at what a nice job the Mothers Polish does on them too. I have to admit that this chassis cleaned up about as well as any I have done before, and better than most. The only reasonable way I know to make it more presentable would be to paint it, but I reserve that for the really bad rust bucket chassis' for which there is no other recourse.

Regards,

Ed
