I don't know if this is worthy of a new thread but it's a big deal to me! I have acquired a 500c, Serial #: 13851D reportedly from the original owner, who purchased it in 1962. As you can see the unit is dusty but the only issues I found from an external inspection was a missing end-cap for the 'Treble' knob and a small spot above the bird on the chassis. The end-cap was visible in the e-Bay listing so maybe the seller has it.
OK, now where do I start? Can anyone tell me the items that absolutely should be addressed before I try to power on the unit? I know there are many sources on the net but can someone recommend any particular articles/authors?
