Just a little update... I finally got through all of the capacitors and resistors... She's singing like a bird!!!! Icon_biggrin

I've got an issue with the volume control, as it is still a little scratchy and cuts out at low volume. I think I need to clean it up a little.

The GREAT news is the shadow meter!! It worked like a champ as soon as I fired up the set!!.. All I had to do was adjust the light bulb clamp a little to center the shadow!!! Icon_thumbup How is that for luck??

With a little more work, I will have the chassis back in the cabinet. It sure does sound sweet. This thing is LOUD too!
