You're right, Ron,  I couldn't see that candohm along the rear side of the chassis either with the brace in place. I was referring to the 3 section one running vertically from front to back. Still, as you said, you may as well change that one too. It may test good now but who knows how reliable it will be.  As with the crumbling wire replacement, now is the time to do it for peace of mind.

I remember those flimsy 3 finger terminals on the tube sockets from the late 30's RCA's I've worked on. After almost breaking one off, I copped out and did the hook and loop dance... leaving the original lead attached to the terminal and cutting out the old caps and resistors close to their body. It may not be the most ideal way, but it saved me some unneeded headaches.
