Hello, welcome to the Phorum!

Nice set!! Unfortunately the modern design and performance is coupled with the crappy rubber insulated wiring!! I nearly rewired the entire chassis of my brother's 41-285 last summer. It started as just replacing the power cord and a couple of components. But just touch wiires that were close to what I was working on and there goes the insulation.
