Looks like you’re making a lot of progress. Not too long back I restored my 39-116 chassis. I rewired, recapped and changed all the resisters in the entire chassis. It was full of that rotten wiring your dealing with and a lot of it was so far gone I didn’t even want to try to use heat shrink on it. The band switch area is a royal pain in the butt but once your done with that area the rest is cake.

Here is a couple pics.

It is a very tedious job, but patience and a few beers and it will be done in no time. Coolest thing is when you’re done and you sit back and look at all the work you put into it and listen to it singing away.

Then like an idiot I went and got a 39-55 (little brother to the 39-116), so I get to start all over again with that rotten wire..
