Some progress

I'm still making slow progress. Many of the paper caps are difficult to get to, buried under other parts. I found one good paper cap so far. It was the only one that didn't have blisters on the outside. I wonder if that's related.

I've also found quite a few open or out of tolerance resistors in the audio output section.

I started to do a quick check by checking the tube chart resistances given by the SAM's. I quickly learned that this was a waste of time. Many of the resistances given are wrong. The schematic from the same SAM's folder seems to agree with what I measure. It'll be easer just to check the individual resistors and not worry about whether the SAM's got it right.
