Thanks for all the great information, guys!

Unfortunately, life called this weekend, so I didn't have time to do anything on the radio, but I did make a trip to radio shack and lowes to pick up some of the tools that I needed. I believe I have all the supplies to put the wiring back together, so that is priority one for this cabinet.

Now that I know "cap" is short for capacitor, I know exactly what everyone was talking about I felt dumb, but I asked my brother in law (who is very good with small electronics and things that run on tubes and the like) and he was very gentle with his explanation on how dumb I am.

Anyway, as soon as I begin work, I will document with photos and post them here so that everyone can critique my solders!
