So far so good. All wires in the AF section are either replaced or re-covered. Working with these vertical tag strips is definitely a challenge since it means four layers of components and you have to start at the furthest away layer to avoid having to disturb work already done. Still, as I become more familiar with it, it's becoming less daunting.
The set was most likely used for many hours as most of the valves are either dud or very weak. One of the ECH21's is fine, the other is weak, likewise the EBL21 audio output valve. The rectifier is dead and so is the magic eye. Luckily I have an ECH21 and an EBL21 in stock but the rectifier and magic eye are on order.
