I re-installed the caps and soldered the minusses.
Gee.
The front of the radio is really busy.
I needed the caps out to take out the tone control.
Now with the tone control in place I could not re-insert the caps.
For those who will be doing the same:
You need the tone control in but loose.
Then reinstall the cap holding clamp, the one closest to the front (the other does not have to be removed in the first place). Put it from the top of the chassis (meaning, the chassis bottom facing up, you go from underneath). Then when you get the tabs in the slots, insert the holding pin. Then the screw and the nut. Then you could tighten the tone control back.
Now you could put the caps back.
The front cap's plus is really close to the tone control case, so I rotated the tone control, achieving the gap between the cap's center contact and the tone ctl case that is safe.
It was tiresome.
Will solder the rest tomorrow.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
