I was able to reinstall the right side Aerial Input Terminal last evening and once the Stud assembly with its captive wing nut was back in place, made an interesting discovery.

I had assumed the mushroom effect applied to the tip of the shaft the wing nut moves on was simply achieved by a sharp rap with a hammer. However, as you can see in the photo of this assembly back in place, the newly cleaned and re-plated tip of the shaft revealed it had been struck with a small cross punch to achieve the mushroom effect. I was pleased another little detail finally came to light...literally.

Hopefully, I will be able to clean, re-plate and reinstall the Aerial Input Terminal on the left side of the coil case today.
