Ok, Parts arrived for the Electrolytic caps replacement.. Finished wiring up the Band Switch.. Mounted a terminal strip to hold the Caps. See picture..

[Image: http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm38/...l3toss.jpg]

Still need to replace 5 caps yet.. Then pin out the connections from the band switch .. To make sure I wired it correctly.. Then I need to order a 50L6 tube. I do not have one in stock. I have a replacement for the 35Z5 tube and the others test OK..

I do want to make this more safe so I will check the web for ideas...

If all checks out then on to power up..
