Had a moment today to get that last axial capacitor. Sometimes these little tykes are hard to remove, as the assembly line ops were very thorough in wrapping the leads before soldering. With that done, notes were made on the selenium bridge rectifier for the bias supply and wiring to the smoothing cap, in preparation for their replacement. It makes sense to work on these together, as they are quite intertwined.
After that, the above deck cans, HT rectifier diodes and addition of the inrush current limiter. It seems a good place for this is to put it in place of a wire to the fuse holder.
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
