Hi guys, thanks for all the info. I ordered up a set of large schematics (very helpful). The caps seem pretty straightforward to me, but one thing I can't seem to find anywhere is what watt rating I should have for my resistors. The values are all there in the schematic, but I'm guessing 1/2 watt resistors probably wouldn't be sufficient for this, or at least for parts of it. I'm planning to just snip and replace the old, out-of-spec resistors with new (I'll save the old ones in case I want to try to cut and restuff them later to look more authentic).
Greg
