>>It is a classic, probably more so than the "Deluxe" version.
This was the reason I had been hunting a plain 20 for a few years to that point.
I intend to gut and re-stuff the backelites; I am not sure I want (did it twice on the other two 20s I have) to restuff the can; I heard on a good authority the big caps in it stay quite OK. I will test them and see how much they have migrated. If too much then....well, I will gut it.
The dogbones is a separate issue. I know they are almost universally go way up, especially the older style, with large metal solder ends.
But then I am a bit leery of the idea of using the plastic-covered ones. At least in places where there is power dissipation.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
