Next, I polished up the chassis. First a little naval jelly, then Noxon metal polish and finally some simichrome polish.







Finally, I determined that the power transformer and shields were originally painted silver/grey. I chose to use some Rustoleum specialty metallic silver.

I left the transformer soldered in - just removed the bolts and slipped some paper in to protect the rest of the set.






I still need to track down one of the missing tube shields. Here it is with the one good 183 tube I do have. I'm tempted to sell it rather than find a twin. They are quite expensive. Besides it has more than enough volume with the 71As.
