Thanks. Nice score and, yes, I believe it is the same chassis. Phil restored one of those a while back.

I found a closeup on another site. They do look promising.



With the power resistors out of the way, I found a good spot to mount the filament cap and wired it in along with the 120 VAC LED pilot light.

I better stick a note inside the set to explain my changes or some poor future tech will be mighty confused

That wraps up the electrical restoration so I'll move on to cosmetic issues.
