Marty: thanks for the tips about the caps. I guess it all comes down to how original do I want to maintain its appearance. I'll see how much work it will be to re-fill the original caps - it would be cool to maintain its original appearance.
Jerry: I have been looking at a few of the threads here and other web sites and I do agree with your assessment of spaciousness. There is a fair amount of room to work - I just wish I didn't have to remove the row of tuning adjustments to get at those 2 or 3 paper caps....
I'll start making a list of the caps I need and see if i can salvage the paper wrapping from the originals.
I did find a supplier for dial tuning string. Any ideas where I could find the tuning indicator pointer?
