So how are you making out with the old model 87?

It was on the back burner and I just tore into it today. The audio transformer replacement went well. It is neatly hidden in the old housing. Then I moved on to the cap tar box. I successfully removed it by coaxing it carefully up and reaching under it and snipping all of the wires and did not have to de-solder and disconnect all of the wires under the chassis. Next was the heat gun on the box. Very time consuming, but it's empty. I'm guessing that I'll next cut a piece of plywood to snuggly fit inside the can with terminal strip(s) to hold all the caps and wires. That's going to take a careful drawing, labeled wires and double-checking .
