39-25 Project
#30

OK this puppy is alive again.  Replaced those ugly wirewound resistors, one with a reproduction 70 ohm 1/2 watt and the other with a 300 ohm 5 watt.  Its a lot less visible than the older replacement and I should be able to get a 2 watt replacement that I can make look more original.  Still have one electrolytic tacked in under the chassis since I haven't located the right can to stuff it topside...will keeplooking.

Here's the new look for the resistor replacements:

And the before and after on the entire underside with replaced rubber wire, recap and resistors restored.

Taking that pushbutton assembly out and putting it back isn't fun.  Does anyone know if the little rubber pieces in the assembly are critical or not...doesn't seem so as its playing without them:

Here's the topside still on the bench before alignment and dial plate replacement.
