I've gotten the chassis out of the cabinet and cleaned up the mess. I'm wondering if one of the electrolytics shorted causing it to overheat. The 1st one pictured looks to be oozing its insides. It's a 5 section unit. haven't seen one that big before.
The 2nd electrolytic is one that I've never encountered before. It has a positive and negative at both ends. Normally, dual or multiple units share the ground.
Yes, this set does have couplates. I took a pic of the largest one, 15 components. I've watched bandersens Predicta restorations, and I've used his techniques to rebuild the couplates in a Philco Briefcase I recently restored. I'm also currently restoring a Predicta and will be rebuilding the couplates in it within a week or so. However, I hope I don't have to do that in this set. It has a 15unit, a 13 unit, and an 11 piece unit.
