1936 RCA RR-359B Restoration

[bandersen]

I placed a WTB in the classifieds for two matching RCA caps to make a matched set. Another collector came through with some and we made a deal.
I'd all but given up on these ever arriving after being endlessly delay by UPS, but here they are.


I also cleaned out the donor HV transformer box. First, heat to get the old transformer out. Then, cold to make the tar brittle and easy to chip out. Finally, lacquer thinner to remove the residue. It looks reddish due to some rust on top and stubborn paint.

Once a few more supplies arrive in about a week, I'll start restuffing and fabricating.
