I started cleaning the guts of the chassis...

to that

using q-tips, alcool, and a vacuum cleaner.

Once I was there, I decided to rewire 2 bare wires because they were making me nervous... Some are really not well placed, considering you can't really put the chassis upside-down.
Next step will happen when I have my electrolytic caps - hopefully soon.
