Hi Folks,

Made some more progress today, and also captured these pics. Cleaning and derusting. In fact, after the chassis picture was taken, I improved things quite a bit further.

Next up will be working out the best way to restuff the stud mount electrolytics.  Chassis work will have to wait until a more powerful soldering iron arrives. Most of the  decoupling caps are soldered directly to the chassis, and my 45 W iron won't be up to the job. Another good task in the mean time will be figuring out some of the power supply circuit and wiring, so that I can undo the previous repairs to meet the restuffed caps. There is nothing wrong with what the previous repairer did, and at first inspection, they didn't disturb too much, making it pretty straightforward.

Cheers

Ed
