Captain, I just finished doing one of those sets and they are a good performer. One thing though, the electrolytic can in my set was super fragile to the touch. When I grabbed a hold of it, it crumbled in my hand like an egg shell. I was lucky enough to find a parts set at Kutztown for $2, but when I gingerly went to remove that can, I noticed it was bulging and the can had a crack. I did manage to restuff it but one of the mounting studs broke off. Those cans are very brittle and fragile. Other than that, the electronic restoration went well and I didn’t see any problems with the wiring used in my set. Now to find or make a new carrying handle! Good luck with yours.
