I tried to follow that. The block still cracked - it is an 80 year old piece of plastic after all. Stress fractures in materials happen.
The other one went well although I did have to drill out the eyelites with a 5/16 inch drill. I found the Y caps I got for this had short leads - got it all done but next time I’ll add length. It’s working well now - so no shorts - I’ve added a fuse anyway.
I’d like to find an empty bakelight block - having this on a terminal strip near the chassis makes me nervous plus it’s just not authentic.
