You are correct, Russ, if I live another 20 years! You are also correct about the plating shops. I just lost the one that did my 16 (except the coil shields).
An additional question for you: When I stripped my 16 I removed the sockets with most of the wiring and many components intact. This made it easier to reassemble before actually replacing components. I noticed that Scott Seickel appears to have removed every component in the stripping process on the Philly he had re-chromed. What is your preferred method, remove every component before removing the sockets and terminal strips, or leaving things as intact as possible?
