Hi -- As a newbie in this group I have a simple question that I'm sure will be looked upon as heresy but I would like opinions and guidance. The Model 16 I have in belongs to a good friend. It is a family piece and he would like it to play, etc., but is not concerned with complete restoration. Incidentally, the cabinet is perfect annd absolutely gorgeous. On the question of the bakelite box caps and their replacement, he doesn't want to invest in what I would have to do to take out 13 or so of them and replace the innards. My suggestion is to epoxy the replacements on to the bakelite boxes to fix them in place and then do the necessary wiring. Is this a bad idea, and if so, what is a better way to get this problem solved (other than the internal replacement of the caps) ? Any and all responses will be most appreciated. Dick Bidwell, VA
