Majestic (Grigsby Grunow) 50/52
#11

Made some progress stripping the cabinet. I used Citri Strip, worked great with no odor. Started to go over it with lacquer thinner in the basement when the Mrs. put the kibosh to that right quick. The slightest odor bothers her so cabinet work is on hold until spring when I can do it on the deck. Electronically, found 3 open wirewound power resistors, replaced those but still need to recap. There are 6 .15mfd caps, 3 in one can and 3 in the other. Schematic shows all six go to chassis ground on one end. You would think each can would have 4 wires coming out…3 to various circuit points and the 4th to ground, but this thing has 6 coming out Icon_crazy. This chassis has practically every component encased in steel boxes making wire tracing a chore, no wonder it weighs like 60#! Getting there slow but sure.
