The bake light block shattered in the process of cleaning it out. Anyone have a picture of the preferred location/installation for using a terminal strip in place of that?
In the meanwhile I salvaged the other bakelight block from the 41-255 - which I need to go through anyway - cleaned it out without breaking it, put in two .01 Y safety caps, a 1 amp fuse under the chassis and a better power cord. I also used some heat shrink to cover and reinforce these connections.
You can see from the pic that someone had just wired in some caps on top. No good. Also a pic of what the old caps looked like. That’s all cleaned up.
So aside from maybe doing an alignment and doing some cosmetic stuff like installing new buttons etc. I think this radio is done. I can’t think of anything else I need to do - I didn’t install a three prong grounded plug. Any further suggestions?
