The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay The Radio Bench Excellent, another radio to play with

this week i didn't get much done,
went to Surplus City in Albuquerque NM and was rummaging in the back again, found some 6 volt vibrators for parts ($2 each)
mine will likely need new points next time it fails.
they also have a nice selection of electrolytics for tube equipment

i got the radio chassis stripped of all it's parts, only steel remains, the zinc plating is corroded through to the thin copper flash over steel in some places
i'll look at getting it and some other parts re-plated with fresh zinc in Oakland this week
this shape has too many intricate inside corners to plate well with the home-brew vinegar plating technique,
flats and outsides plate okay but my experience is too limited to successfully getting inside corners to plate at all
