Yesterday I recapped a 40-120 and this has to be the worst chassis I've worked with so far. Not only was it plagued with rubber wiring that crumbled when moved and needed replacing, some of the caps were just a pain in general to get to. All I have left to do is replace the volume control as the switch is open but after jumpering it I know it works. I have another one in ivory I recently bought, but think it's going to become the parts set as I don't want to touch another one of these again lol.
