Got an order in today for the extra caps required. There are about 5 or so small axial electrolytics, and at least one of these looks as it has had a very hard life. Although they are from the same series, the "distressed" cap looks rather different, in a brown, overheated sort of way... Others don't seem to healthy where the leads attach. They will all be replaced.
The power switch seems to have responded to application of contact cleaner, even if this is a low voltage test compared to switching line power.
I don't hold with furniture that talks.

If a coil was wound backwards, the oscillator would not work at all.
