I've begun the process of restoration on a 96 that I picked up.  Not a great radio, but it will be a good experience.  This is the first time I've run across the cap blocks that include the wire wound resistor.  I've been able to extract the resistor intact and reinstall it in the block with the new cap.  Is this wise?  They all measure within a few ohms of spec and install quite easily.  Has anyone had any issues with doing this?

Many of the cloth covered wires are very brittle and I will replace individual wires.  The wires in the harness that runs around the perimeter of the chassis are also very hard.  I hate to disturb that.  If it's not flexed, is it safe to leave it?

I am taking pics if anyone is interested.
