I recapped and changed out all the resistors too on the main board today. I left the high wattage wire wound resistors because the checked good and also looked good too.
I used 1W resistors to replace the 1/2W, 2W resistors to replace the 1W resistors, and 3W to replace 2W resistors.
I used a 1.6KV .0015uf Panasonic cap located in the upper right hand corner of the board.
I cut some standoffs from 1/2 dowel and used some #2 sheet metal screws to hold them to the board. Time well spent. I'll keep them in my jigs and fixtures drawer for later use.
All pretty routine with no problems. I re-flowed the solder joints on each tube socket and gave the board a very close inspection.
Before I did the recapping, I ohmed out each coil. All was good. I didn't bother with any of the ceramic disc capacitors either. I did check each slug on the transformers and coils to be sure they could be turned.
