These are the wires I replaced. The pink are the filament wires, and the white are signal wires. Started to crack, so I decided to replace them.
Now there is that question of the capacitors' cans. They are riveted to the chassis..
And these are the cans themselves (you could see the rivets).
The rivets are on the side, so could be easily drilled out, and then, I guess, replaced with screws, even if this will alter the apearance a little.
What did those of you who deat with these do?
Another option is just to install solder strips and bypass them. The caps' values, unlike the resistors, are all over the place (I checked out of circuit, of course).
Also the tone ctl can is a bit diffrerent (5-cap) from that in the sch (4-cap one).
I also decided to keep the electrolytic caps rework the way it is, (with the Philco-Ford caps replaced). I will use solder lugs and use the existing electrolytics as the support.
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.
