Model 90 dogbones
#11

Perhaps I am just different, but it seems that restuffing wax/paper caps, and remolding dog bone resistors is kind of deceptive. I know, it maintains the look, but who will see it, but another tech? Sure, I restuff the Bakelite blocks as it is more convenient than trying to add a terminal strip or adding the cap on the outside of the the block and breaking the old cap connections. I do restuff chassis mount electrolytics, when possible, as they are visible from the top side. But looking at it from the point of view of the next guy that might have to work on the radio, I would rather be able to see that the chassis has been gone thru, than pulling a cap or resistor and finding out it had been restuffed. I even go as far as putting a label on the chassis indicating that it has been updated with a date. Since I do these for myself and not for resale it is more of a reminder for me, more than anything else. I will leave the old resistors if still within tolerance, figuring if they made it this far, they must be pretty good.
My methods may not be the popular approach, but it works for me.
