So far....

I cleaned the front panel and knobs...
Did a partial re-cap of the IF and audio decks...
De-oxit all tube sockets, switches and connectors.
tracked and graphed the PTO.  It is off 6.5 KC end-to-end, but pretty linear
at the 100kc points.
(I'll set the end points later)
Pulled the front panel.
  I had a can of Radio Shack degreaser( the one with the tube and brush at
the end).  It made short work of the gunk on the gears.  The bad news is
that RS no longer stocks the stuff and in three store visits I could only
find one more can.

Pulled the RF deck....

More to come
