Update

 A while back I posted "next Steps" so here is an update:

  1. Purchase:
    1. Lacquer
    2. Power Cord Wire
    3. Resisters
    4. Capacitors
    5. Veneer
    6. Feet - Felt?
    7. Cowpasture Cans (ebay?)
    8. Grill cloth?
    9. Power Cord Strain Relief
    10. Molding epoxy for capacitors and resistors
  2. Generate Schematic 
  3. Generate Parts List 
  4. Determine the state of the speaker 
  5. Determine the state of the output transformer 
  6. Determine the state of the grill cloth 
Still updating the parts list to include new replacement parts. Plan to replace the entire wood top with new plywood and veneer. I will be making Mershon look alike cowpastures from 1-1/4" copper pipe and caps. Original feet appear to be thick felt which I have. Grill cloth has yet to be found. Chassis has been completely stripped except for tube sockets as they are good:



Next steps will be to make all the dogbone resistors and capacitors when parts get delivered, refurbush all the parts as necessary, refinish the cabinet, assemble, and align.
