Motorola VT-71 Blonde Cabinet Restoration

[kvflyer]

Some more paper capacitor replacements done today. All of these capacitors were leaky, and some even double leaky with oil running out of it. Only 7 more capacitors left not counting the large electrolytic capacitors. I will probably bring it up slowly on the Sencore PR57 and see what happens. No doubt, the three can multi-section capacitors will need to be stuffed. I will even try it with the selenium rectifiers still in place, but monitor the current draw very carefully.

The nasty goo on the CRT came right off. I stuck the face in a bowl of water and that rubber just melted away. However, this tube is weak according to my notes. But it will be good enough for continued restoration.

Thanks for stopping by.
