Rewiring iz dun.
Or so I hope.
I left many wires untouched, especially white-yellow and brown, those have not deteriorate at all, I replaced most red ones and almost all black ones.
I left three black wires in place: Ground connections going inside coils. Was very involved to change them, but I replaced those blacks that were not ground.
Also by some miracle these three did not defoliate. But if they do, they will be Gnd wires touching Gnd, so I thougt, screw it, will leave them alone.
Many resisors are within reason so I left them be, and the single cap I left is the quad tracking cap, it has no DC bias across it. If eeded, will repace.
Now, transformer seems to be fine, gives both correct filament voltages and high votage too.
Well, a litte breather, tubes go in....
Oh when the tubes are marching in
Oh when the tubes are maching in,
Oh yeah I want to see
No smoke coming,
When the tubes are marching in.
