Did left and right sides of the chassis, now the only caps left are in the RF chassis but there are few and they are well within access.
Changed 3 resistors - most are within tolerance.
Different caps use different wax and some use light colored one that doesn't melt as quick as the brown one and then foams a lot.
Not going fast but the wax re-use slows down the process.
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.
