Man, this is slow going...

As you can see, I am having to remove some components in order that I may replace all of that rotten rubber wire.
The rubber insulation on these wires is literally crumbling as it is touched. It has to be replaced.
A closer look:

I'm currently in the audio output section. I'm just about ready to start replacing resistors here (actually, two have already been replaced, as you can see), and then I will install new capacitors.
You can see in these photos that many of the original Philco paper caps were replaced with caps with plastic shells at some time, and the work was done sloppily. I will replace these caps with restuffed paper caps - Philco, Sprague, and Cornell Dubilier (depending on what I have and the printed values on the shells).
