I glued the halves of C39 back together and set it aside for awhile. I also restuffed C40 with two Solen Fast 8.2 uF caps (connected in parallel to end up with 16.4 uF, close enough to the original 18 uF).

C41, 4 uF, was sealed in tar inside a cardboard tube. Looking through the junkbox, I found an old United Chemicon electrolytic can from an old piece of stereo gear. I opened and gutted the can, using the empty can only as a cover for the new Nichicon 4.7 uF electrolytic that has been installed to replace C41.

After the glue dried, I installed C39 and C40, and connected the pertaining wires. I also connected the wires of C41.

Here's a look under the chassis as things stand now:

   

and a close-up of the restuffed electrolytics and the replacements for the Candohm (R18-R19):

   

It was easy to find a replacement for R18, 7500 ohms. For R19, 9200 ohms, I had to use a 9000 ohm resistor and a 200 ohm resistor.

Above the chassis now:

   

   

Still to do:

* Attach new cloth-covered power cord.
* Test all tubes.
* If all tubes are good...power it up and see how things are.

We're getting close to the finish line with this one...
