David,
On the subject of old rectifiers I've got an ancient Battery Eliminator with a 1N4007 and a 100Ohm soldered discretely underneath.
I've also got a little Pye - what else - with a couple of WW resistors hidden behind an O/C Dropper section.
I'm not a stickler for authenticity, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be neat.
I'm fascinated by the strings of resistors. Perhaps the 'Professional Restorer' only had a limited range so he made them up as required.
I'm not sure about turning in a jacket and tie. Back in the dim and distant past of my schooldays Woodwork and Metalwork were a couple of the few occasions when we were told to take them off.
I can't claim any great tidyness, and Col's workshop always sets me to shame. I must give him some gear
