And, here's how things look as of right now. I've rebuilt all six bakelite blocks - something the previous repair person did not do - and made things look neater under the chassis.

I still need to connect the power transformer wires, and rebuild and install the electrolytic capacitors. Then, hopefully, the 282 will be up and running again.

I'll have to install another dial lamp socket, and figure out what to do about the lamp for the shadowmeter that was inexplicably cut off.
