No problem, Bob.

I've reinstalled the antenna coil, replaced three of four wires which go between it and the band switch, had to resleeve the fourth wire with heat shrink tubing since I could not get to that particular band switch terminal with my soldering iron.

A few more wires to replace and then...waiting for the electrolytics...
