Finally, the main supply caps are replaced. These are a drop-in replacement with screw terminals. I prefer screw
terminals because they do not require all that heat for solder joints (solder lug are what you find in a lot of units).
Also, I find screw terminals much neater in appearance. The original caps had wire-wrap posts which I have not
seen in anyone catalog for a long time. I do not think this style is available as a standard stocked item any longer.
But the screw terminals will do nicely...
The finished unit below is very nice indeed. Working on this unit was very satisfying. Some other things not noted
in this write up was the installation of a complete set of lamps, polishing the relay contacts, basic tuner alignment,
and detailing the rear panel.
