Kirk's Majestic model 15.
#7

OK, it is 15B.

It has that long terminal mount running along the edge of the chassis that 15 does not have.
Which I broke while trying to desolder resistors. Very long, thin and lots of mechanical advantage at that point. Will glue with epoxy.

Finished the recarb today.
Every single resistor has drifted, and those 200K and 300K have gone over 1Meg.
I replaced all but 3 of them.
2K resistor was charred - it was burnng. I hope the RF transformer winding in series survived.

Someone did really ugly recap of the electrolytics. I suspect I know who it is. Don't worry, Kirk, it's our secret and it will die with me.

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.
