Not much to report so far, even though I have put several hours into it. It is going very slow. I've only replaced a half dozen resistors and a few capacitors so far, along with several wires.

I baked several paper caps in the old toaster oven this afternoon as I will be needing more of these to restuff and install in this set.

Photos tomorrow.
