It's time to get radical.

As you can see, I went in and removed nearly everything from the IF amp through the audio outputs. I think it will be easier this way. It has to be rewired anyway due to the dried-out, nasty rubber-covered wires.
Arran, I was able to remove everything from the other tube sockets in this area which I want to keep without any other contacts breaking or otherwise coming off from heat. I found that it was easier to remove wiring from contacts when I had a tube plugged into the socket I wanted to keep.
So...as it looks right now, I will only have to replace the 6H6G (2nd detector) and the two 6F6G (audio output) sockets. I'm hoping I can save the det-osc, rectifier, and tuning light tube sockets as well. We shall see. But since I've completely stripped this area, I will concentrate on it first.
