655 restoration
#26

Working on a 655 tone control, 30-4378. 

I have rebuilt all my Bakelites, is it the same process on this unit? Like to know before I dig in!

Am I right in assuming that it contains THREE caps? It has 3 leads into the wax from the contacts, and one coming out. The parts list says cap 41 0.01 is part of "Program Control" (tone control) 42, but there's no mention of the other 0.01 and the 3000pF caps. I think all 3 are in there, would make sense based on the leads.

And the insulation on the leads into the wax have turned to goo... guess I'm diving in there regardless.

The tone control:
