Restuffing the paper caps, nine more to go; checking the resistors along the way etc. So, progress is being made. By the way, PuhPow's advice (in another thread) to go to that series of videos is VERY good advice. I'd never have gone to the detail of restoration that I have if not for that. Thank You!

Now the question. There is a white block that the parts diagram calls a "compensator". I can post a photo etc, if necessary. I just am wondering, what is that? It doesn't look like it needs my attention just yet, it may when it is time to adjust and align, but not at this stage.
