Yes, I like the looks of the unit without the top cover. The chassis does have a lot of small pits here and there and the bottom cover that wraps up over the left and right sides has even more plus some rust on the left side. However, if I want to, I can get an 18 gauge stainless steel new chassis with bottom cover for about $125 and after I get this unit going and checked out I might just go with a new chassis and use a star grounding system. I like to keep a watch on the output tubes just in case something begins to go wrong. I was lucky that the chassis cleaned and polished up as well as it did.
I just finished installing new 0.1mFd @ 630VDC polypropylene caps and also the .05mFd caps were replaced by .047mFd @ 630VDC polypropylene caps.
