Ron's 53-960
#3

Several hours later, every paper cap has been replaced:

I only replaced a few of the resistors. If I need to replace more, I will do so.

Now look at the line bypass caps:

X1/Y2 safety caps this time. Icon_thumbup

It certainly was nice to have no rubber-covered wires to deal with - it really cut down on service time.

Now it's a waiting game - I am waiting for some new Nichicon electrolytics to replace the originals. These are skinny and tall. The 10 uF caps are 10mm wide x 20mm tall; the 22 uF caps are 12 mm wide x 25mm tall. These should fit in the original twist-lock cans. I am hoping to leave the electrolytic bases installed and just cut off the tops to install the new parts, then put the covers back over everything.
