Hi.
I've been working on the set over the last few days. Slow progress as these are not the easiest to work on but all of the leaky wax coated paper capacitors have now been replaced in the timebase sections, PSU and audio stages. The RF section is yet to be done but tomorrow I'll gradually power up the set and see what transpires.
I normally do a blanket change of capacitors these days and to be honest this is a very awkward set to work on and doing them one by one and a test is far too time consuming, I've never had an issue working this way. Resistors are in the main within tolerance with the exception of half a dozen, still OK for a test though.
Pictures over the next few days.
