Well, I finished all backelites and all tubulars. While I thought the backelites was the pain I really appreciated the easiness of access when I started tubulars. Most of them happened to be in the RF sub-chassis and the access is dismal. And I was and am reluctant to take it off.

I changed some resistors but not many. Only those I thought would be critical. Some are a bit over 20% off but I don't think those matter too much and the access to them is the worst so I decided to take my chances with them.

Now I am down to that tin can block and then electrolytes. I am tempted to bite off the wires off the block and throw the caps over, since I have some tubulars that say Philco on them. But then it's somewhat of a cheating, even if I am the only one who knows. Will see how involved it is and then decide. Got all the tubes except the rectifier 5U4 but this one is already traveling from Ukraine to Canada to be then sent to me.
