Update.
I decided to recap the tuner as I had almost enough spare capacitors lying around and needed to buy more parts to qualify for free shipping from Mouser. All those new Wima caps look nice too!
I also added an extra heat sink to the Tuner power supply transistor, even with the additional heat sink it gets very hot.
I also decided to remove the Tape Rec/Play port and install a switch to change between stock and modded backlight states, I generally prefer to leave the tuner lights off but on occasion I like to show them off.
The original port is taped up and tucked away inside in case the mod needs to be undone, I made it completely reverse able.
Current pic of the bottom of the receiver showing all mods, I'm currently repainting the power transformer and will have a top pic when it's done.
