It sure is taking shape. I have cleaned all the parts and
mounted the components. The front panel has not been attached. That will
be done after the wiring has been completed. I did purchase new brass screws and
washers for the back terminals. I cleaned the fixed 250mmfd condenser
(capacitor) and mounted it with the original screws. I cleaned the hinges
and screws with sandpaper. The screws weren't brass, but for now I will
use them as they were original.
I thought of mounting the front panel in a better way.
The person that built it had two little wood screws along the edge of
the front panel. I thought that I would drill two new holes, use
brass fillister head machine screws and a couple of brackets.
I decided that I would
stick with the original. What the heck, it stayed together for 75 years,
why should I change it?
I am really pleased how this is turning out. There is a slight
problem in the top's front corners. I think I will put a small amount of
stain in the place where it shows. That will work for now until I find
out more about wood restoration. After all, I specialize in the circuitry
and not the wood work.
Next comes the wiring and the final assembly and testing.
