[Phlogiston]

I suppose it does make a difference how much rubber wire a person has replaced. I have replaced a lot, but I can remember back in the days that I would feel the strong urge to "just leave it" (a bad idea I got over) or turn the radio into a parts set. And I have taken apart a lot of sub chassis, also not so bad by the time you have a couple dozen under your belt. I wonder how many of them have all the caps replaced except the two in the center of the RF and Antenna section?:
