Almost there....
Things are fairly easy to reach but requires a fair bit of disassembly and did take about 5-6 hours so far over the past week. I’m a novice and triple checked polarity, values and type for every capacitor and did it 45 Minutes to an hour at a time. Also took the time to pre sort the capacitors by board.
In progress...
Face looks to be aluminum with plastic buttons. Knobs might be metal. Had to remove this and a fair number of other parts to get to the tiny caps on the tone control board.
All but tuner section board, 120volt 10,000uf, and display board recapped and ready for reassembly. Lots of little wires to connect and bundle. Thankfully these are documented in the service manual since I didn't take pictures or notes.
Cleaned up mica insulators can be seen on the heat sink ready to be dabbed with the aforementioned heat transfer compound.
Will tackle that tomorrow evening and hopefully get to compare if everything was done properly. Fingers crossed!
