Jim,
Just finished two 66s- one of which is a B. Both had good coils and good speakers. Simply had to re cap and replace resistors. They both had frozen bandswitch switches. Simply heat the shaft with soldering iron and use something like WD-40 and eventually they will free up. One of the switches had actually broken so I had to remove a fix. Other than having to correct someones previous attempts at repair, they both came out great. The guys on this site are super! Nothing they can't help with.
Good luck,
Joe
