I thought I'd have more time for this... and yet...
However, today a box of components arrived, so I now have a complete set of caps for under, and on top of the chassis. On the bench, I've been looking at the various switches for Hi, Lo, FM MPX and Tape monitor. These were super stiff, to the point I was unwilling to force them, and also made no contact. Delicate application of De-Oxit has restored a satisfying motion, and electrical operation of the contacts.
I also started sketching the wiring around the large multi cap cans, to make way for their replacement.
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
