Greetings! Ok, so I got a PT-6 at a yard sale for $10. The cabinet didn't look to bad, but I couldn't get a look inside while there.

Upon chassis removal, I see it is rusty as all get out!! There look to be a few not so good repairs to the guts, but at least the tuning string is still there!! All caps bad, resistors shot, wires falling apart...this is going to be a complete overhaul!

So, first question I have is, what is the chassis made out of? and how is it treated? I know the metal treatments back then were pretty toxic things, so respirator and gloves are on hand for striping it down.

I plan to retreat the chassis depending on the metal...
