Alrightie, I finally got motivated enough to compare the original parts list, my list of parts to replace and the contents of the Mouser shopping cart, all is good there.
Once I get info on a source for tuner capacitor grommets, dial string and bulbs I'm all set. Nevertheless it's good to have the info on the resistors, that was a tough nut to crack. I clipped out the 1.6k 4 watt resistor and smashed it apart just to see how it was made. It had a white cylindrical ceramic core with stranded leads going all the way through each end, was wrapped with very fine wire and topped off with a thin green coating. I have doubts it was one of the more reliable designs.
Now, can anyone point me in the direction of the last things I need? That would be great, a one-stop shop would be best. I'm finalizing a list and an estimate for the owner.
