I always found the lessons I remembered best were those where improvements like this were attempted . Most were successful , some weren't , but I'd say I learned something with each attempt that I may not have learned had I just left the set alone in it's stock configuration .
I see the schematic shows a lot of the components were in modules. It must've been fun to restore this set.
