Arran,
Thanks for the tips. Dale had pointed out that since my testing was done in-circuit that the readings could have been artificially low. As I said to Mike, I don't have a tremendous desire to do extra work in the first place, but at this point I've ordered to basically replace everything - I'm in here and don't want to have to pull stuff apart again because something still needs doing. I'll test what comes out to see how different the results are, for informational purposes more than anything.
Y2 safety caps for the bakelite at the power cord are part of that order, per another response. Hoping to have a much better performing unit when all is said and done. New cord, wire, an inline fuse holder also on order. Looking into replacement grommets for the tuning chassis and where the chassis mounts to the cabinet. Then I can move on to the cabinet work which looks like it will be complex in its own way. Peeled photo finish in a few spots is the majority of the damage to the cabinet, otherwise, it's in pretty good shape.
Best wishes,
Roy
