Couldn't help myself so I dragged myself off the couch and pulled the chassis for a look - so far it appears to be in pretty unmolested condition... a few caps replaced, including the electro's. There is a Hunts cap standing up in the pair of electro's in the back corner... that doesn't seem original, but it looks well replaced and if it wasn't marked I wouldn't have known it wasn't a Philco one...

Hopefully I can avoid the temptation to do a quick recap... maybe I'll go to bed instead...
There are no personal problems that can't be overcome with the liberal application of high explosives
