[rocketeer]

I've replaced all the caps and all the electrolytics except the 4 small buggers inside the small can. As I went along I brought it up on the variac and tested it. Basically it sounds much like it did when I started except the hum is gone. At minimum volume she plays fine but as soon as the volume increases distortion appears and increase as the volume does. I swapped speakers with the parts set and there was no change. I'm hoping it's those last 4 lytics, when they arrive in the mail, but I'm not optimistic.

Having read up on the damage water can do to the dial I decided to try DeOxit D5 on a small area. It worked great so I did the entire dial. It cleaned up very nicely.

A couple corrosion spots on the chassis but I'll live with it. More to come.
