Hey everyone,
I just wanted to share some pictures of my just finished 90 chassis. I did a complete overhaul on it, along with recapping, I replaced all the resistors save the BC resistor with 1 watt flameproof units. After checking the old resistors I found that most of them were at least 20% over tolerance! I also replaced all the wiring, cleaned and painted the chassis and power transformer. It was a lot of work, but I really enjoyed doing it!
It worked on the first power up and it plays beautifully. All that is left is to align it.
Now, on to cabinet!
