Back to the radio bench in 2019!
Picking up where I left off, the tone switch bank - which is on another harness, needed all wires replaced. Each one was desoldered, and used to pull a new length of wire through the shielding braid. Most of these wires terminate at a board with capacitors mounted on it... and I didn't have all the values, so wires were tacked on until I can do the caps one-by one. This is a very cramped area of the radio, and it made for slow work.
On the audio power amp/PSU, I got the 50 mfd + 50 mfd cap restuffed and the end crimped over. That chassis is almost finished, aside from a couple of caps that, again, I was missing the correct values.
Good progress... And progress on other projects for the HiFi...

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
