I am supposed to pick one of these up tomorrow. After looking at the schematic to get ready for a restore, I noticed a "BC" resistor. Is this a wire wound or a candhom type? Just curious as to what I am in for on replacement parts.

Also, where are the serial numbers located so you know if it is an non AVC model or not. This one has copper E-caps from the picture I saw today. I think that makes it an early one from what I have seen in photos online.

The cabinet looks good except for some veneer missing on the grill.

Thanks,
Steve
