I'm kind of a newbie at this, but I have recapped and rewired a 40-150, 41-250, and a 41-280. I am relieved to hear that these are among the more difficult! The band switches on the 41 sets are murder. I didn't know at the time that you can take them apart.

At the moment I am about half way through a 42-350, which has been more difficult for me than the others, mainly because the chassis is a quite a bit smaller than the 41-250 types. Everything is crammed in a little tighter. Also, there are three interstage transformers instead of two. I haven't gotten to the band switch yet.
