The 39-116 project: the beginning
#1

Now started on the recap and rewiring of my 39-116 (thanks, Murf, for helping me out with this!). I've done the caps in the remote receiver section, and most of the ones in the audio section. There is one coupling cap from the phase splitter to one of the output tubes that's buried pretty deep in wiring that I still have to get to.

   

As you may note in the pic above, there are still several paper caps in the middle section of the set that I need to be replaced, as well as the electrolytics. I have some nice capacitor housings that I will use to replace those. I only have to install the new caps into them.

Also need to see what all needs to be done under the various cans, but that shouldn't be much nor too difficult.

I have started on the crumbled rubber wires as well. Started with the ones going from the switch to the cord and transformer. Those were highest on the priority list since they carry the mains power. New cord, too.
