I have thoroughly cleaned this unit inside and out using compressed air, and Deoxit D5 and Fader Lube to clean and lubricate ALL controls front and back. I disassembled the unit, removed the faceplate, and all knobs, and soaked them in a cleaning solution to bring out the original luster. Tuning dial lamps were replaced with LEDs in the original warm white color to keep it original looking. When it was disassembled, I did a visual inspection for any swelling or leaks of capacitors and everything looked fine. I just finished bench testing this receiver for a week. Sounds awesome!
