The first job was to restuff a set of paper capacitors.

Many of these caps are courtesy of Phorum member Kekoa; thanks again!
I decided it would make things simpler if I had a set of restuffed caps ready to go into the set when I began working on it.
Let's look under the hood:

Mostly paper caps, along with a few of those bumblebee caps which the guitar guys love but due to their age, really are no longer any good as capacitors.
Look close - two of those bumblebees are being used as line bypass caps!

Those will be replaced with X1/Y2 safety caps.
