The recap of the paper and tubular electrolytic caps is done. I still have the chassis
mount caps in the power supply and at the front of the set opposite the tuner to do.
I'm going to do the latter set today, then I have to make mounts for the
power supply ones. I'm not restuffing them.

After seeing the chassis bottom after the recap, I'm quite happy with its
look. Its not original, but it sure looks neater and not so cramped. I'm
not happy with the look of the blue rectangular caps I had to buy for some values,
like 0.001 or 0.0022 at 1600 or 2000 volts.

I'm going to look for better looking ones, either Panasonic brown or
axial lead. I assume that mica or polypropylene would work. Is that correct?
The blue ones I have are rated for RF current use, which their spots are used for
(well, overtones of the sweep frequency.) Any suggestions?
