Today I started cap replacement.  This is going to be a tedious process since everything is so intertwined and in many places there are many connections on one terminal.  I like to clean things up as I go so wherever I can I remove everything from a terminal, clean it up, and then re-attach everything.

I didn't get too far today before I decided to stop and place an order.  I checked several resistors as I disconnected them and most are out of tolerance, such as a 150k that measures 211k and a 330k that measures 404k.  So I decided to order every resistor I might need.  Overkill?  Probably.  But Digi-Key is always quick and reasonable...$10.63 for every resistor on the parts list, including 2  270ohm 3W resistors to replace the 135ohm 5W that I damaged when I was trying to remove the can caps.  This also includes one extra of every value.  So at least I'll have everything on hand if I need to replace a resistor.

I'm also considering replacing the shielded cable that runs from pin 3 of the 7X7 tube to the .006uF cap attached to the wiper on the volume control.  I suspect this is just plain old shielded cable, right?  Or does it need to be some specific impedance?

Thanks,
