Thanks, Arran, good advice. Icon_thumbup

I like how my caps turned out - they have that patina of age. Icon_smile

Yeah, whether this 42-720 was a preproduction sample or not, it was definitely run almost into the ground.

No progress today, but I did remove the AM/SW1 antenna coil yesterday morning. I will attempt rewinding tomorrow or Saturday.

I need to get those electrolytics ordered, too, along with some flocking material to reflock the dial's backing plate.
