Anyway, I thought you might find this 'before' photo useful for comparison. It's from a 45C I restored a while ago:

Sorry it's not oriented the same as your photo.

Nathan,
Wow! That's a clean chassis! Well, I can tell that the Output transformer on mine has been replaced. I also noticed that the 4989 Bakelite block under the voltage divider coil was removed, and a couple bumblebees put in its place.
Thanks for the look under yours. It helps!
Blessings,
