Kirk's Majestic model 15.
#10

Finished recap. Rebuilt the speaker cable.

Was tempted to connect the speaker and power up but noticed something strange with the electrolytic capacitors' connection while running a speaker wire to them.
The message to whoever recapped these electrolytics: if I were to power, there would be smoke. And possible explosion. He whoever did that seralized the caps connecting plus to minus. The caps should have their plusses together, not plus and minus.

Anyways. Good news is, the speaker seems to have both the field and transformer intact.
I haven't checked RF coils, there is, as I said before, a possibility of a damage of one in series with 2K resistor, but I hope it survived.

Enough for hoy. The rest va a ser manana.

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.
