Some weird looking backelite caps: they are all, except one, are flooded with solder.
I obviously lack the experience to clam this could not be factory, but since the chassis was repaired at some point, I suspect, this is also some sort of repair.
There is also some weir bubbling on the coils. The wire seems fine, and the bubbles, when pressed upon lightly, get squished. I suspect the glue of some sort bubbled for whatever reason. On two of the coils. On the other two there is also some strange glistening that seems some crystallane stuff, but I tried it with my finger, and nothing remained on the finger, so maybe this is a litz or some stranded material insulation that looks that way.
These are the bubbles, at the second photo I squished them.
These two resistors simply serialized; the mid-point goes nowhere.
And this again is the evidence of repairs:
The transformer, mentioned before, from the bottom (clearly not original), and a solder blob, found inside.

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.
