160-6 meter transmitter, all paper and electrolytic capacitors changed. 18K resistor in VFO changed to 10 watt unit. All resistors checked and replaced if out of tolerance. Face and case completely stripped, primed and painted. Face was silk screened, clear coated and buffed to a brilliant shine. Cabinet was powder coated. All the knobs were polished. New audio potentiometer. New keyer potentiometer. VFO surround polished. New rubber feet for the cabinet. Tubes were tested. VFO aligned on all bands. Keyer adjusted per factory spec. New low voltage "push to talk" installed. Bench tested for several days. Used "on the air" with good power output and excellent reports
