Mike;
I had an issue with installing eyelets in a pair of wiring panels in my Roger 10-60, in the service literature they identify them as resistor boards even though they also have capacitors on them. They used a style of resistor I had never seen before, they had spade shaped terminals rather than wire leads, and they used these spade terminals to connect many of the capacitors, and some of the wiring from elsewhere in the set, so taking them out left empty holes in the resistor boards.
So thinking of what to do I came up with the idea of installing eyelets in the holes, but the tool I have is shaped like a pair of pilers so would not reach the holes in the center of one of the boards. I ended up using a drift that had a shoulder very similar to the flare on the eyelet tool, and alternated between using it, and a flat faced drift, they worked, and they put the eyelets in tight enough that they did not spin around in the holes.
Your project is inspiring me to work on my Canadian Westinghouse 780-A, which I have to "re-restore" electrically, after two other parties had at it. Whilst it does sort of works, I don't like the quality of the "restoration", clipping off leads, and tacking on new components onto them, or piggy backing onto leads of other components is just not the way I like to see things, especially when they ignore the routing of the original parts. I say that it sort of works but it has an interference problem, plus a low frequency oscillation when you turn it to the phonograph position.
