Finished restuffing caps other than the electrolytics, and fixing the resistors.
The bias network 250 / 70 ohm had to go.
The rest was good enough to either be left alone, or have a parallel small resistor tacked to bring the resistance within specs.
I will probably rebuild the elctrolytics this week. The first one is not original, but fits the size, so I will let it stay.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
