1936 RCA RR-359B Restoration

[bandersen]

I mentioned the "001073" stamped on my chassis earlier. This is why I pointed it out.
RCA took fantastic, clear, detailed photos of the various parts of this set.
Turns out the photos are of my chassis!
That leaves zero doubt of what it originally looked like before the 12" factory upgrade to a "B".
It's also neat to see the wooden support jig. I'll fabricate something similar for the workbench.
Otherwise once I unmount that CRT funnel the chassis will tip over.


So much neater before all the repairs and modifications.
Notice no caps on the left side and how clean it is along the bottom?
This is what I am striving for.




This wiring guide will also be a fantastic guide as it not only shows all the wires but also the original colors.
Now some of the changes are factory from the "B" upgrade. They added a 6H6 tube for example.
So, I'll need to be cautious before I start clipping parts out.
