It is slow-going, but the recap work is progressing. This chassis is quite deep, and access is difficult in a few places where components are snugged in around valve sockets. some areas have screening/shielding panels as well, making it tighter still. Anyhow, I got all the tone circuit, audio section and back towards the detector and discriminator circuits done. I think it is a little over half-way, with the most cramped area now completed.
Now, I'm wondering how I'll align the set, as I do not have the "Wave Magnet" loop antenna to hand - it is in the cabinet, 300 miles away. One option is to bring it back next trip. The other is to finish up here, and take the alignment gear with me. Perhaps this will spur on the work 
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
