Looks like new, was there corrosion?
Corrosion?
It was a real piece-of-junk!!!
It was so burned inside that I had to change A LOT of stuff (too much).
Caps, resistors, cables were toasted. Had to have a new Heyboer PT made. Didn't have much of a choice...
This pic is pretty much the closest representation of how bad it was at first...

A heroic effort.
Thanks but i'd call it a "Dantesque" effort...
I am so pissed the faceplate had a drill hole to the bottom right.
Nothing I can do about it.
Thanks for your comments.
I am pretty much doomed with that hole until I find another faceplate...as I think a toggle or any other stuff would just ruin the beautiful look (IMHO).
I too like it better like this than the original color. Very easy, I used a Tremclad black mat spray can. 3-4 thin layers did it.
As far as the chassis. Once sanded, if you want to bring it to mirror like condition, just use some green ScotchBride and dip them in a bowl containing warm water AND liquid soap (the one for the dishes) and bingo!!
Really easy.
I got that trick from a professional machinist who does stuff for audio manufacturers in my area.
Finally, the female speaker connectors are NOT standoffs. I bought them on Ebay. They are made especially for vintages if memory serves me well.
And very affordable at that....

Thanks
