Thanks J Ballard !
Tips and experience with the actual model are always gold to a hopeful restorer. I still have these, and hope to get the CCU racks out and photographed this summer - they really are quite a sight.
To replace every electrolytic capacitor would be a mighty task, and if I had more time and money I would start with one board, and just keep going until done. One cant really do anything else until this tedious but unavoidable task is done - rather like removing rust when restoring a classic car.
The yokes going open circuit is new to me - thanks - and could obviously be checked before powering up - if I ever get to that stage. I have two camera heads so the odds of getting at least 3 working yokes are very good. Same with the optics.
If your ever in Sydney, Australia and ever want to arrange an inspection, so that you know what your buying / getting into, please call 0402 008 531.
Cheers
Michael
