For any old PCB tube set BE GENTILE ! Things get very crispy.
It gets so bad at times neither the part or etch take solder.
Socket savers a great idea where there has been a lot of heat.
Also a muffin fan is nice to suck the heat out.
When recapping or shotgunning do just a few at a time then
run the set. Be sure its OK & make note of any major changes
such as " C249 vert size much larger, adjusts normal".
Disc caps almost never go bad. Dont change unless burned
or cracked.
Finally if you need to pull off the CRT socket slowly pry it
off with a little screwdriver while holding the plastic part at the
CRT end. I doubt many of these still have glue & you can kill the CRT.
Good luck !
