No progress for a day or two.. But my new iron arrived yesterday, so all the soldering jobs can be done properly.
I am half tempted to tack in some electrolytics, and power up on the dim bulb tester, just to see what we have got. Then again, I think going through the whole job properly is the best course. I have still not decided whether to cut open and restuff the thread/stud mount electrolytics, or replace them and add caps beneath the chassis. These are not like the twist locks, where they can be uncrimped and re-closed in the original way. It looks as if the tops were rolled over, and it would be hard not to make a mess of this visible area.
As always, I value the opinion of the experienced folks here. I'll post a picture of one of the caps later. They are tall, slender tubes, branded Solar.
Cheers
Ed

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
