   Mark,

   Your  picture  of  the  chassis  looks  great.  Thanks  for  making it
   available.  I've  never  heard  of  Flitz  but  I'll Google it. Is the
   chassis  in your picture cadmium plated? I've often wondered how those
   old  radio  chassis  were  manufactured  (didn't know it was cadmium).
   Also,  is  the chassis in your picture actually brighter than when the
   radio  was  new?  Did you use Flitz on the aluminum IF cans? I have an
   SX-28A that would be candidate.

   btw - here is an interesting blurb on cadmium:
