A little more work yesterday, resistors and caps - working my way back though the RF section. I had to extend the leads of some capacitors to reach between tags - the old components were that much bigger.
Still checking parts as I go. Nearly all the resistors now are well out of range, sometimes measuring double or more the marked value, and in many cases do not give stable readings. Caps are often worth a look too, just for grins. Many seem OK on the mulimeter cap test, and measure high megohms or over range for leakage, but I would not trust them at high voltage
There are a couple more caps, and a handful of harder-to-reach resistors left before this chassis is finished. After that, clean and check the speaker and repair/restore the cabinet finish.

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
