As I said, they are going into the "removed innards bag" that
some day sells along with the TV. They will be replaced with
modern parts, completely different looking, painted that color.
If you are unfamiliar with these sets, they are inside the perforated
metal cage at left in the chassis top photo, and are essentially invisible
if you look inside the set with the back removed. The top lifts off this
set and they are visible, inside the cage, with the top off.
Oh! I have another idea: series dropping power resistors have to be added
in series with silicon rectifiers. I could use resistors intended to be
mounted on heat sinks, and paint the heat sinks that color.
The originals are 3 inches square. These could be as
wide but only 3/4 inch or so high, leaving room for the caps I will put there.
I'm feeling much better now about the original look!
Ideas like that last one are why I am seriously over-planning this project.
