39-25 Project
#1

Started on a 39-25 today.  This will be my 7th radio (as I cut another notch into my workbench).  The cabinet is pretty solid but coated in grime and some black goo on the top...but that's another thread.

It comes with the requisite mouse stash under the chassis...Icon_crazy

and mouse initiated rust on the top...Icon_thumbdown

Its relatively clean underneath although there's obviously been work since two of the original electrolytic caps are missing and replacements tacked in along with a replacement for the wirewound resistor.

Will need to see what else is going on...this may take awhile.  The good news...all the tubes test OK.  The celluloid dial is in decent shape but dirty.  I've read that the ink is water soluble so I have not tried to clean it other than wipe it with a dry artist brush and then dry Q-tips.  Has anyone cleaned one of these successfully before?  I believe a repro is available at RadioDaze.  This should be fun!!
