Thanks Ed.

Progress:

   

   

There are a few mica capacitors which are soldered to the trimmer capacitors, such as this:

   

I decided not to replace these, since those metal rings you see around the trimmers are made of solder, and I didn't want to mess them up.

Topside progress:

   

Still to do: One more mica cap underneath, one more mica cap and one more resistor on the top, plus one more grid cap lead to replace on top. Also polish and reinstall the shields for the open coils you see above. And them make and install a replacement wiring harness and the Magic Brain should then be complete.

If all goes well, I hope to have the Magic Brain back in the main chassis sometime tomorrow - and also hope to apply power to it for the first time tomorrow as well.
