Okay, time to replace the Candohm!

Here's what I started with - remember, in a previous post I said that I had removed the rivets holding this in place on the back of the chassis:

   

   

There was one terminal which was grounded to the chassis, as you can see where the arrow is pointing to the solder blob above. The trouble is, the solder did not stick to the chassis as the Candohm came off when I removed the rivets, and the solder blob did not hold the Candohm in place.

I carefully measured the total length of the Candohm - 8-1/4 inches. I then cut a piece of flat aluminum to this length.

   

Next, I laid out the resistors which would be used to replace Candohm sections, in order to roughly determine where to place terminal strips.

   

Having determined that, I then marked spots where I would need to drill holes.
