Work has Begun!
Replaced about 15 of the paper caps so far. Probably going to have to fix my filter cap arrangement, kinda sloppy. The recap of the paper caps is coming along nicely. Most of them seem to be original caps. Bet I could sell these two bumblebombs for a pretty penny to the audiofools.
 More to come later.

I have noticed something strange. I was trying to figure out if my chassis is a early or late production chassis. Reading Bob G's article on CTC-4 chassis variants determined that my chassis was an early production chassis. One thing I have noticed is that the RCA service manuals and schematics calls for a 3.58 MC oscillator crystal, but the sams calls for a 3.579545 which is extremely close to 3.58 Mhz. This crystal seems to be a factory original part of the set, but I am confused as to why there isnt a 3.58. Maybe RCA ran out of 3.58's and used 3.579545 to substitute. I must also mention that the crystal in the set rattles when I lightly tap on it.

3.58 is simply the rounded-off figure. "Three fifty-eight crystal" or 'color crystal' is all the same thing.
