Progress on the GE T-12!
Thanks for all the tips! The heat gun worked great to get the capacitor pack out. I used sharpie markers to color code wires according to the schematic wiring diagram before I clipped away. It worked well for me to make sure everything got put back where it belongs! All the capacitors are replaced, still have a buzz, but not as bad as before the re-cap. Is this normal? I turn it on, it buzzes almost immediately, the tubes warm up, audio begins to play, and the buzz isn't as noticeable. Also sprayed the volume control, and it's working better. I found one resistor way out of value. It's supposed to be 500K, but was 1.2M that on my meter, so I'll order a replacement. All the other resistors are close to what the schematic calls for.
