So I just finish comparing the schematic to the actual chassis, and going over it looking for any trouble areas.
The IF transformers seem to have dripped out some of the wax from the inner winding's. (Photo below) Is this something I need to be concerned about? I don't plan on rewinding IF transformers...
The Wave trap "gunk" also appears to be a soft wax of some type, maybe dripped from somewhere, like another winding...
Lastly I stated before there may have been repairs at some time in the past. I located an 8uF 450V electrolytic capacitor that is not on the schematic.(Photo below) I don't know what the purpose was, but it's connected to the compensating condenser and the large wire-wound resistor. As the Cap is pretty ancient, is this something I should replace? Omit?
