I'm getting a little bit frustrated here with having to repeat myself, of course I am including the rotted wiring, I've only mentioned this several times. What's the big deal with the rubber wire anyhow? Changing out wires is no different then changing out a leaky capacitor or a bad resistor, you replace one wire at a time from terminal "A" to terminal "B". The worst sets to deal with are ones where someone has messed with the wiring, or clipped things out, or added crap, where I have to trace out everything.
Why is someone still insisting that I am leaving something out, it's like I'm being cross examined? I'd really like to know why every comma and every period I write is being scrutinized for my estimate more so then the so called "professional" that quoted $795-$895 for the job, on a 6 tube radio??? It makes me wonder about his level of productivity? What does he do spend two hours changing one capacitor? Rewiring, new caps, new resistors, and possibly an output transformer, since they were iffy in this generation of Philcos, plus tubes (if needed). He already needs a speaker so there's up to another $50 right there for a replacement.
