Well here it is with all new resistors and capacitors, and a bunch of new wiring. I also installed a polarized plug and put the hot side on the switch.

As I replaced components and wires, I carefully looked at all applicable views in the pics I took and then marked with a highlighter on the schematic the exact electrical connections made. Icon_e_geek

It did not play at first, just hummed. I turned it over and found that I had neglected to solder one joint: the electrolytics to ground junction. After that last bit of soldering, it played without any adjustments. Icon_thumbup

You may see one lone orange dip in there. I bumped a yellow cap with a hot soldering iron. Icon_mad

I'm just glad I had an extra with the right value.

Here it is, playing like new after a quick alignment:

And then here we go, back in the box:

I'll tackle refinishing the wood later. Icon_e_wink

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
