Well,
I have just cleaned the top of the chassis and sometbing looked a bit off.
Then I realized someone painted the chassis with silver paint. With a brush at that. My doubts were confirmed by a light wire running along the suface that also got a coat of paint.
Ok, not the biggest worry.
The RF chassis upon a closer look seems pretty benign compared to the 37-116. No buried caps and lots of space. No need to take it off unless there's something wrong with the switch.
Just one backelite cap block. The rest is tubulars.
Plus two tubular electrolytics, seem like factory or authorized service-soldered.
The aluminum cap on top is dual Aerovox, so not original.
The sch quality sucks in NA.
I have been using their prints so far. Maybe it's time to try Chuck's product.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
