If I was redoing something like a CT100, I probably would have went with an under-chassis mount somehow. This set, while being in very nice shape, isn't something rare or historically significant that I feel that I'd need to keep a dead stock factory look. My goal here is to build a set that will last until after the apocalypse, so that in hundreds of years when insects rule the Earth, they can tune in to some programs, provided they grow the proper opposable thumbs.
No, not really, but it sounded cool
. I just want to build this set to last. I had thought of replacing every resistor under the chassis as well as long as I have the thing apart, but I think that I'll just replace those that look as if they've deteriorated, and get a baseline to see where I'm at once this is done.
