Ditto to what Chuck said. In addition, as I resleeve all of the wires on these sets to get rid of the old rubber insulation for good, I have to unsolder one end of every wire in order to remove the remains of rubber and install new color-coded heat shrink tubing. While I have certain wires loose, it makes it easier to replace caps which may be tucked underneath wires. Take photos and LOTS of notes as you go.

I've repaired the similar 41-221 and it was a great performer. I'm sure the 41-226 will run just as well when you're finished. Icon_smile
