The last weekend, though I finished the recap, I found myself out of solder and so could not continue. I still have some wiring to replace, mostly the one that goes from under the chassis to the top to the keys' assemblies and such.
So hopefully this weekend I will be able to proceed, now that I restocked my solder supply.
Plus it is going to be a warm weekend and it hopefully will be more pleasant to work in the basement.
I usually combine working on the radio with transferring my vinyl collection to the tapes of which I have just bought another 150 pieces (found a company that is selling cassettes with BASF chrome super tape in them at $0.45 each which is incredible price; you also need to buy the cases separately plus J-cards but still runs you about $1.30 apiece compared to even old store prices of $2-$3 or today's ebay prices of $4-$5 for a good grade) - I have a nice deck, Nakamichi ZX-9 so the quality of records justifies the time and money spent.
So while I am restuffing the caps, I am listening to nice classic collection
So, mixing pleasure with another pleasure.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
