So...while I wait for chemo to begin, I decided to start working on the chassis of this 6T2.

This is how the chassis looked as of last weekend.
Since I have multiple rubber-covered wires to replace as well as several original paper caps to restuff, not to mention old resistors to replace, I made a decision to just remove all of that and then slowly rebuild it with mostly new wiring, new resistors, and to restuff all of the remaining original paper caps.

So far, I've restuffed two of the paper caps.

A few of the original paper caps had been replaced over the years. One of the replacements was molded, so it will have to be replaced with something else. It will probably be replaced with a Philco cap since I have several old Philco paper caps but no old RCA caps.
