Progress on this CT-100: I have replaced all of the remaining wax/paper capacitors and all of the electrolytics on the chassis, and "all" that should remain before first power-up is the work on the HV cage. Here are two pictures of it with a bit of clean-up I have done so far.






I have a list of work needed in there:
-Replace several parts that were previously replaced with incorrect values.
-Install a new filament winding for the 3A3 HV rectifier (it was removed when a solid-state replacement was put in).
-Modify the 6BD4 wiring (relocate items from tie-point pin 8 to a nearby unused terminal) so I can use a 6BK4 (which was already in the set when I got it anyway).
-Remove the remaining white silicone glopped around and repair any connections underneath.
-Clean everything in the cage as best as I can.

With all of this needed work, I am leaving the peaking coils and other parts alone until I see what happens after the HV cage work. This set is getting closer to being fired up!
