Default Re: My first foray into Old model TV repairs.

Yesterday's work on the cabinet carried on this afternoon. Getting glue between the separated layers of plywood and then clamping for an hour or two, have done about four areas all on the same side.

This is the side piece I have given up on you can see how it must have been wet at some point.

So I bought some plywood and got out the router and had a go at a copy, it is not perfect, but should look OK, this is a dry-fit just to see if all fits together.

And then on to gluing and clamping. I will check in the morning that all has gone well and start adding the corner brace pieces.

I am not putting in the hole for the Band3 tuner, it does not have one with it but it is a simple matter to make the hole at some point if required.

One last image for tonight, I noticed the quality assurance paper in the cabinet and a date which I guess is as close as I will ever get for the TV at 15tth April 1954

Anyone have the component number for this cap and I will take a look at the one on this TV?
