Ron, sorry to hear you lost your job. Hope you find suitable good work soon.
I agree with your approach. I also go ahead and just use new parts rather than try to disguise them. I recently bought some new colors of 22AWG wire and plan to order more in order to have a complete supply of multiple colors. I like to use the same colors as originally in a radio or at least try to follow RETMA color coding that was common in the 1940s and 1950s whenever possible. I am going to be watching Ebay for some multi-color wire that is teflon insulated for high heat applications.
Many new components are far superior to the old ones from decades ago and will likely last far longer and still be delivering good performance. That chassis looks good so far. I know you will do a great job.
The new forum format is fine. I agree that it is better to keep current if at all possible with software. There is always a learning curve associated with it. Best wishes always.
Joe
