Every 111 and 112 I have worked on has had many of the resistors out of spec. It is good to check every one of them. Also remember that they are NOT color-coded IAW modern color code, hence one must know what resistor one is checking in the schematic and what it's value should be.
Strongly recommend bakelite block caps and metal box caps be re-stuffed, as the 111 chassis is very shallow and offers little room for creative restoration.
Agree, they ARE very good sets. In my opinion the ones with PP 45s sound better than the ones with PP 47s.
I have a Pilot Super Wasp SW converter added to my BelGeddes 112H and a Midwest Miraco SW Converter added to my 112X. This makes a nice set even better.
