TD: Do you have have a call sign? Just curious...but anyway your now officially a SWL'er!
I have another little tip to try....Only when the old girl is cool(been turned off)....Reach in the cabinet and wiggle each tube around in it's socket. This will help remove some tarnish or corrosion on the pins of the socket. Then remove each tube wipe off the glass and the pins and reinstall and wiggle it back in the socket "Gently".
If you have some "canned" air you can blow out the junk and cobb webbs with the little tube directed in the sockets and switches may help.
The front plate can be cleaned with mild dish soap diluted with water on an old T-shirt....rub gently and make sure your not rubbing off the letters...Do not use Windex/409 or anything like that!...Liquid Gold for the cabinet or Pledge is ok
All the Best
BJ
