well about out of gas, replaced the two papers (leaky of course, just checked for the heck of it) and 3 eletrolytics, all tested with high esr, could not check two of them for leakage, too low a voltage, like 5 and 15v my tester only goes as low as 25v, but they needed to go anyway.
Cleaned and oiled all the moving parts, scrapped of some mild rust spots that were on the metal face where the dial pointer slides, a little lithum there just to smooth it out, oiled all the pulleys etc... cleaned the pots and switches.
cleaned the white plastic back part of the dial face that obscures the chassis when reading the channels. the chassis was very clean. I just find it hard to understand the usage of those dumb paper caps, I figured they were stopped by the late 50's
