I am attaching photos of the 38-12 chassis I just pulled out. I am confused (but have a theory) as to where the bakelite fuse is. I suspect that since the area where it should be is scorched that there was a problem in the past in which it was removed. There are also these "extra" leads coming out from the transformer that have been capped (taped) off and, again, I think these went to the bakelite. The radio plays so I'm scratching my head as to what was done, if it is safe, and can it be left the way it is after recapping? I will be replacing all paper caps and electrolytics. Thanks for your help.

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM
