Those 12CA5 audio output tubes like to run hot and ruin sockets as you know!

The wires in this set were pretty sticky too. I cleaned them off with lacquer thinner as best I could. I wonder why they used a mix of cloth and plastic insulated wires

These silicone coated Dale power resistors should hold up for a long time.
