Finally finished the electronics and did a quick alignment. The "Off" switch was toast, so I used a Rat Shack microswitch in its place. All new caps, resistors, and all rubber insulation has been replaced. I didn't have to replace any tubes.  It still needs a new escutcheon and some knobs.

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
