I'm just getting started on my very first restoration -- a Model 60B. Cabinet is in excellent shape. I have no way to evaluate the condition of the chassis, since I've been warned not to try to fire it up without first checking capacitors. If you were an absolute newbie like me, with not a whole lot of experience repairing electronics but a desire to learn, where would you begin? Would you suggest reading one of the books on radio repair that are listed in the website or on Amazon, or should I start poking around with a multimeter to see what needs to be replaced? Or just assume all the capacitors are shot and replace them all before flipping it on? Thanks in advance for whatever guidance you can provide! Gary_James
