I finally got some time to work on the Emerson 250AW that I got back in Feb. It has the same chassis as the Emerson 350AW although this time it was supposedly working. All the coils checked out as OK so there was no need to go coil hunting like with the 350AW. This time around I just didn't have the patience to try to reproduce those resistors that I tried to reproduce in the 350AW (they did not really turn out all that well...original is the top one):

...so I simply recapped and carbed. I did preserve the waxed cardboard box that contains the electrolytics so if someone in the future gets the notion they can still replace with more original looking caps and resistors. Emerson folks did lots of mid-air connections with caps and resistors so I simply reproduced their arrangement with modern components. I did add a fuse as well.

Its now playing. I will do an alignment check but it sounds decent and there is a little rust removal that still needs to take place.

On to the cabinet. Its in good shape but missing the back.
