Pilot G-674 restoration
#1

I finished my Pilot G-674!

I dismantled it, cleaned it, did a full re-stuffing recap and resistor redo, and put her back together.. First picture is the before and last is the after.
I removed all the caps and labeled every wire since I am not the greatest with schematics. I then baked the caps at 300* until the wax melted out. I took a screwdriver and quickly pushed out all the insides before the wax got hard again. I put all the new caps in each one, stuffed them with hot glue almost to the ends and then crushed up the original wax, put it in the ends and melted it over the glue. They came out just like the originals so that made me happy. I re-stuffed the Ecaps on top and bottom also.
