Thus far I've cleaned the chassis, removed the paper capacitor sleeves with a heat gun in preparation for restuffing and removed the high voltage module.
Electrolytics are on order from Justradios.
I recapped the high voltage module a couple nights ago, it took a couple hours to replace 11 capacitors, some of them are in pretty tight areas and you have to remove some first to replace others.
Other than the doorknobs none of the caps in this box are rated higher than 200 volts, i replaced all with 630 volt yellow caps.
When I removed the cover for the first time I found something interesting, a long human hair embedded in the wax on a capacitor, looks like a brunette, probably from one of the women who put this set together so long ago.
I like how the tube numbers are neatly marked on this chassis.
Before recapping.
After.
This is the HV transformer, no Flyback in this one!
The Selenium Rectifier module, I will replace these with Silicon Diodes and resistors, they will fit nicely inside the metal cover and be hardly noticeable.
