While waiting for the paints I ordered to arrive, I decided to finish up the cleaning of the Sender chassis frame.
If you look back to Page 7, Post #207 of this thread, you will get a pretty good idea of just how much post-service crud had accumulated on this Sender, and the one small section of plate I had cleaned back then on the top chassis framework. At that point, most of the interior had been cleaned, with really the three big phenolic tuning coils, and the lower chassis floor level, down around the base of the 813 Valve left to deal with before I broke away from that part of the project. What looked bad then, looks positively hideous now, with the refurbished front panel taking shape so well.
The cleaning of the top chassis rails last evening was nothing more than a careful brush with a brass bristle tooth brush. It raised lots of questionable dust, so a mask is definitely needed for this work.
Should keep me out of mischief for a bit longer.
