Ron didn't sound too happy about it, now DID he?? Icon_lol I'm just a subversive and muckraker at heart!
BTW, the REAL resto doesn't look too much different than my before picture. I wanted to use Orange Drops for this re-cap, but you all KNOW THEY won't fit inside one of those Philco Tar-Boats!!
The filters are down in there now, because I wanted the top end to look original!
But only those and a couple more new caps ( li'l bitty yellow thangs) show...one to the volume, etc.
Thankfully, the top of the chassis was just dirty!

If I can sort out the speaker problem, it's good to go. The input choke/output trans is shorted together. Icon_evil
