Clearly it needed the bath, it was hard to pry Stinky away from the thing,
he is a connoisseur of gross stuff. ;) No further injustice than it
previously suffered!  Its pretty much completely dry already, I'll let it
cook outside some more tomorrow. The inside looks less muddy, but overall
doesn't look a heck of a lot better.

What is it that puked out all the tar, a choke? Rich in tasty Pyranol? ;)

Also, there's that transformer with the match stick stuck under the loose
lamination... that transformer seems like it was added later, its loose,
and there is another piece of wood that seems like its been wedged in there
to hold it in.

That top section in the rectifier unit with the paper caps and octal tube,
is that something ham-added? Looks like a small rectifier, can't see a
number on it just yet.

I need to read up on this thing in the Surplus Conversion handbook. Seems
unlikely to me that hams in the 50's had a ready source of 800 Hz power.
