Well, tonight I pulled out the chassis on mine, after looking up on NA what electrolytics I need.
I did a good chassis, and, tube cleanning.
I now have chassis upside down on the bench, and, all needed electrolytics out.
I had replaced the paper capacitors about 20 years ago, or, was it 25? Whatever...
Anyway, I'm now ready to start replacing the electrolytics.
I'm kind of excited to get this thing playing again!
