Good to know 22ga is plenty. I have a lot of 22ga solid laying around (albeit not the same colors as the original, but oh well). I was expecting my caps to show up yesterday, but they didn't. So this weekend I started the desoldering process. I'm rewrapping the old caps back on the terminal. So when the new ones arrive, I know where they go and can quickly replace them. My resistors arrived, so I can start replacing those along with the wiring.
For the power cable, does anyone know what the original was? Was it still rayon covered wire? Did it have a unique plug? Mine was replaced with a generic lamp cord at some point, but I would like to make it look authentic. Also, the white plastic piece behind the dial is filthy (actually, the entire chassis was caked in dirt, I blew it pretty much all off with compressed air). Should I just try washing it with soap and water, or use a mild cleaner with bleach (like Clorox cleanup spray)?
