So how fatel does this look?



The lead going to the top of the HOT had a very shoddy repair done to it, the last few inches of the wire had been changed to lamp cord with a very poor solder job on the tube connector. The part where the wires were joined fell apart. It may have just been twisted together with a single turn of electrical tape to cover it. Doesn't that wire cary very high voltage? Can I replace the damaged end if I use good wire and cover it with layers of heatshrink?

Start of the evening. I don't think a single part has ever been replaced.



A few hours later, a bit of progress. So far the caps match the Sam's.



I was annoyed when I found the modules were soldered in place, but less annoyed when I found you can reach most everything through holes in the chassis.

Now that I've supported my local electronics store, I think I'll get the remaining caps online. Electronic Connection seems to add a ~$2 markup per cap
