I'm thinking that I might go the heat shrink route this time through. Especially since it sounds like the wiring has to be precise, and this is my first time restoring a radio. Plus, it minimizes the number of things that I have to desolder and resolder.

Quick question on this. Would it be smarter to heat shrink each wire as I go, or get all of the heat shrink on and just run the hot air gun over the entire chassis at one time? I can see the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques. Or, am I overthinking this?

Have a great day. Icon_smile

Patrick.
