Decided I'd crack open the black and gold RCA just for grins, and what do I see? Hm, looks like the seleniums were replaced with diodes! A very good sign!

And sure enough, it works! Brought it up VERY slowly, appears as if it was restored 20 plus years ago....but it still works! I'll have to go in and replace a few wax caps, and the control shaft extensions were crumbling apart, but other than that, what a pleasant surprise!
