Now the Pacemaker works as new . I have also completed the conservative restoration of the front panel and repainted the cabinet: Title: Re: Johnson Pacemaker restoration in progress Post by: iw5ci on April 09, 2013, 10:46:14 AM I'm curious how he got the aluminum so shiny. He used a degreaser (the same used for cleaning engines) and then washed the whole radio with water and soap.
