restoration checklist
*some moron ham originally created this list, but offered it in such poor resolution as a JPG even though it was B&W I figured since anyone could be that stupid they do not deserve credit for its creation.
- Replace capacitors with new
- check final tubes for emission standards
- check driver tube
- clean and lubricate (with a Teflon based lube) shafts and mechanical parts
- clean the VFO shaft. Remove side panel off VFO and clean with contact cleaner.
- inspect for burnt resistors, check relays.
- check voltage of regulator board
