Today finished resistors (ell I only replaced two, one is not critical and did not go far, and one went up went up 20% so I put a resistor in parallel (can't be seen) so it is where it should be and looks good too.
Rebuilt the tin can caps, took me under 30 minutes for two of them.
And rebuilt the tone control.
here are photos. This one is easy - just one cap.
The first look - even though I vacuumed the chassis, on top of this one there were still some of those broom corn seeds.
And the wire is in dismal shape also.
Took the tarred part out, here is the paper and the can.
Now put the paper back.
Insert the cap, solder the leads and pot.
