This week's update: I have completed the reinstallation of the video and sound IF and audio amplifier wiring to the previously mouse encrusted region. I am awaiting a couple of capacitors and that's it. I shall reattach the front section of the chassis next week and reintegrate the two. I reckon it has taken about 60 solid hours of effort to get this far.

All of the resistors in the mouse infested area are new as are the capacitors. I reused the pots after dismantling and cleaning. All of the resistors are NOS old style brown body resistors.

The high voltage box which was removed has been cleaned and all capacitors (apart from the doorknobs) have been replaced.

Have been meticulously following the dozens of photographs taken from different angles as well as refering to the schematic to confirm connections. I took copious notes when dismantling but have hardly needed to refer to them.

Still have to finish replacing the paper dielectric capacitors on the front section and a large bunch on the main chassis.
