+1 on the SSTRAN AMT3000 

OK, I think I figured out why I couldn't see my replies. Just noticed there's a "page 2". Duh! (would have included a googly eyed smiley but I only get words). Resistance "is" futile, must learn this stuff.
Thanks to all for the advice. Got some pics on my phone. Will visit my sister this week and have my niece get me set up on photobucket and show me how to post here. In the meantime, I've got the cap can done, terminals cleaned up and holes drilled like Jerry's picture showed. Starting to study the service manual and schematics and I noticed a couple resistors are not connected like the picture. They all look original. Also, one of the leads of the silver resistor, connected to the #227 rectifier tube socket must have been pushed down by the wiring harness and welded itself to another terminal on the same socket. Coincidently, this is the socket that had a #327 tube in it with a very old sticker from a repair shop on it. Is this even a compatible replacement or was someone trying to compensate for the problem caused by the shorted resistor lead that they didn't know about? Does anyone know what the wattage is for these resistors? I think you guys call them dog bones. Can these, and all of the different condensers, including the flat brown ones (Andes candies), be opened and used to hide the replacements?
