That back corner is a bit tight especiailly when you use a manly soldering iron. It's a little like a flamethrower as it tends to burns up everything in it's path. [Image: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/sm...on_eek.gif]
Made up a color correct cable for the spkr and tacked it to the spkr. Gripe #54 don't know why Philco couldn't use the standard RMA color code for these wires. In my mind it makes it simple to follow. The spkr will be taking a trip across the bridge the NJ later but want to get the chassis working before I send it.
Did pull the can apart but used some low capacitance eletrolytics instead of the paper style (mylars to replace) used in the original (ecaps are less expensive). The values aren't particularly critical as they are used for decoupling. The resistor in the power supply were within abt 10% so they are going back in even though modern ones are abt 1/3 the size. If my lower back allows I may give it a try tonight. Can only work on it for abt a hour 1 1/2 at a time before my back gotta sit in the recliner for a while.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
