Bob, coming along nicely! Your inspiring me to start on my 111. A late comment on the multi cap box you restuffed. Looks very much in construction to the 112. Being a chicken and hating to cut off a lot of wires, only to have to hook them back up again, when I rebuilt the box on the 112 I took the approach I use on bakelite blocks. Turned the chassis over and used a proper size drill in my little hand drill. One half turn of the drill in the feedthrough holes on the underside and snap, the cap wires are broke off. Then chassis back upright, removed the four holding screws and the whole top with guts came off the base. I was lucky my tar inside just about fell out. This left the base still wired underneath but of course loose. Did the restuff on the base going down through the original holes. In this way, I didn't have to deal with all the wiring underneath. It stayed in tack. Just my approach. Hope it will work on the 111 project when I get to it. Other phorum members have indicated a thread as to how they go about the 111. Will have to look that up.
Nice job your doing.
