Swang by my work today on my way back fom JFK and picke up my crocodiles Icon_smile

Aligned the set.

Penty of SW...I did not expect that on 2 feet of magnet wire for the antenna.

Opened the volume pot, tried to lube it.
Not sure how well this comes out. The pot is finicky, the contact is provided by metal tape pressed against the resistdive element by a bump on the shaft.
The shaft is a bit sticky, so I put some lithium grease where I could, the shaft is not easy to disassemble. It is better but not as smooth as I would like it to be.
