A productive afternoon today after all the errands were out of the way.

The left side Aerial Input Terminal assembly was stripped down, cleaned and re-plated. At the start of this I cleaned and checked the end of the stud behind the wing nut, and sure enough, it also revealed the mark from a cross punch used to mushroom the end of the stud.

When this terminal assembly was reinstalled on the left side of the coil case, I realized the only item left to deal with was the large Aerial Output Terminal located on the upper left side rear corner. I pulled it out of storage to see what work was required on it and was pleasantly surprised the metal work on it was nickel plated and in very good condition. A quick disassembly and cleaning and I was able to reinstall it as well. That just leaved three sets of hardware to clean and re-plate for the coil case and those can wait until I deal with the now pending work on the actual front panel of the Coil, Aerial Tuning No. 2 A.

That should be fun.
