CTC-7 metal table top

I little more work done lately. I removed the tuner to clean it, as I was getting some problems that seemed to be due to the tuner.

1st order of bus was to get the tubes out and make sure the pins were clean, both were stuck, one really badly stuck, but I got them out and cleaned up the socket and pins.

2nd I pulled the cover and cleaned up the wafers, I have seen worse but it still had some dirt on there. I use a contact cleaner and q tips, don't like hosing it with spray, and risking getting spray where it does not belong.

3rd dunked the VERY rusty cover into some muriatic acid. in just a few min all the rust was gone. neutralized in some base water (baking soda) rinsed, dried, oiled.

Replaced the AGC cap that was on the tuner, and then hooked it all back up, no more touchiness. I should have installed some quick disconnects, but no big deal.

I think its pretty much done so I think I will take it off the bench and clean up the mess so I can start thinking about the cabinet.
