60MB needs some love
#17

Finished the bakelite block recap and then changed out a few of the dogbone resistors.  Some were surprisingly close to spec so I left them in.  I haven't shown an under chassis "before" picture so here it is:

The next pic is after the recap and I've started remounting the power transformer and the can capacitor (#20 ).

The tone switch was new for me but not as difficult as I expected.  I may cover the caps in the tone switch with some black cardboard rather than fill it with black hot glue or wax, easier to fix for the next fellow that way.

I was all set to mount the two electrolytics that were originally missing from the set only to realize that the mounting bracket was missing as well.  I found the cans on John Kendall's site but had not thought about the bracket Icon_sad  until now...but after looking at some photos of them online I was able to reproduce one from some aluminum ducting I happened to have.

Now to finish reconnecting the power transformer, can and electrolytic caps and put in new wires routed to the speaker.
