Finally, I am getting to the point that I have replaced almost all of the old wiring with rotten rubber insulation. I've removed both electrolytics and will attempt to restuff them. I still have some components to replace in the vicinity of the volume and tone controls as well as the first audio amp.

I knew this would be difficult. And it certainly has been!
