More slow progress. I replaced the condenser block today using two .01 safety caps. I’m just replacing other caps later this week like the electrolytics.
It’s clear to me that I’m the second person to recap this as the 12mfd cap clearly isn’t the original.
I’m curious what the original power cord would have been - plastic? Run through a grommet? The previous owner just ran the cord through a piece of orange rubber tubing.
