> Wow you love taking on the hard ones don't you ?

I wouldn't say "love"...but I look upon them as a challenge.

These Transitones are so cramped under the chassis, plus being filled with crumbling rubber-covered wires, I have found that completely stripping and rewiring is the only way I can service them to my liking. Others may disagree. But I feel comfortable with my technique as it totally eliminates old rubber insulated wires and replaces them all with new wires.

And, really, it isn't that difficult to do, especially after you've done a few this way.

I don't feel badly about not restuffing paper capacitors in these sets. As you can see from the photos, the capacitors can use all the space they can get. The yellow film caps are great space savers in these radios.
