Today's progress:

Having decided to replace both Candohms, the first order of business was to replace the one mounted on the piece of metal running front to back under the chassis. This was R16-R17-R18.

Then, after removal of the old Candohm, I installed two terminal strips in place:

After this, the piece of metal was reinstalled in the chassis to see how things looked:

Then I removed the metal piece again.

I removed it again so I could access the terminals of the 6K7 and 6A8 tubes. I then proceeded to replace several more rubber-covered wires and a few components.

The chassis now looks like this:

There are only a few more rubber-covered wires to replace. This radio uses cloth wires for the filament string and cloth in a few other places; these appear to be all good. Oh, and I also removed electrolytic C22, since having it out of the way helped me reach a few critical areas. C22 will be restuffed with a new Solen 10 uF cap and then reinstalled later on.

I feel that I have made good progress today on this radio and hopefully, things will go more smoothly from here.
