I forgot one thing - the little oscillator/preamp for the phono input. Even though I don't plan on using it (it only plays 78's), a restoration is a restoration. 3 caps in a little tin box about 2"x3"x3". Two paper types completely hidden from access by the riveted tag strips, and a twist lock electrolytic to restuff. Fiddly, but all done.
The chassis parts have been packed up carefully ready for next week's trip, thither they will return to the cabinet. I'll also take a basic radio first aid kit, just in case, and try to get some pics of it all.
Cheers
Ed
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
