This one sounds like a death-by-a-thousand-cuts sort of project. I applaud your determination.

Speaking of having to fix previous "repairs," my best/worst experience is the radio that I spent a few hours puzzling over. I recapped it and all the tubes tested like new, but the voltages were way off, and the darned thing just didn't work.

A previous owner had removed the tubes, mixed them up, and written the wrong tube numbers in pencil on the chassis. It took an embarrassingly long time to realize that those tube numbers couldn't possibly be right.

"Never assume," as the saying goes :-)
