Yep, familiar suffering.
And there's that cap block which is a PITA to gut. I decided to open it as a box and heated it with heatgun AND iron till the solder had melted and I pulled it apart. Then soldered it back closed.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
