Thanks for the compliment Lawrence
No! thankfully I didn't have to do that! But the easiest way to restuff some of the caps was to take out fairly large chunks of circuitry and work on that on the bench. Many of the resistors are joined up with spirals and the like and only have short ends. Having no look a like spares I couldn't afford to damage any. Once out of the chassis I usually was able to clip on forceps as heat shunts.
Things like o/p transformer, mains switch, aerial switch and tuning mechanism all came out.
Its a really nice set. A keeper!
