Well, waiting for the coil rewind and Chucks service information. If anyone out there has a scrap chassis with the original e-caps, I could certainly use those. Seems my semi local guy that has one on C/L doesn't answer phone calls any more. Also use a couple bakelite blocks, when they bypassed two of them, the broke off the terminals. Hate that kind of work but that is how it went years ago when fixing radios with the least amount of labor and no concern about how it looked underneath. Now we seem to be more anal about repairs. Will start another thread after taking some pics of the cabinet, and specifically some questions about the grill cloth. I think my wife can save it but the idea is a little new to her. Terrific sewing but grill cloth repair is a little new to her.
