Thanks Sandy, I will be back to bother you "old timers" with questions when I get to this project. I may not be very old myself, but my nick name is "old man" Graham.
I have my hands full with school and speaker projects at the moment. In fact I have been cutting MDF all day and it is about time to start my homework. School is sooo much better than working for a living though.

Some things I have found on these models is brittle wiring...you may need to replace wires or encase old wires in heat shrink tubing if they can't be safely removed. Also there is a line filter capacitor that connects to both terminals of the power line and mounts to the chassis....I disconnect this to remove a short or shock hazard.
We had a similar but earlier model in for repair...replaced all caps, repaired wiring where needed, installed new power cord, switch, and fuse and it worked great.

Thanks for the advice Chad. I look forward to starting this project. I did notice that I will have to fix some of the shielding on some of the wires, or replace the wire.
