Re: AR88 Restoration.
Hi Kevin, I'll be sure to get some up soon. Ive struggled to get as much time on this lately as I'd like.
The approach with the bathtubs I've decided on involves removing the blob of solder from the bottom of the tag, drilling out the tag and rivet, then using epoxy to reattach the red insulator. Enlarging the hole in the insulator a little more, I then insert and glue a small (3.2mm) red eyelet crimp. It doesn't look bad and is at least similar to the original look. Capacitor leads from inside will then be fed through the crimp tube and fed through the eyelet for soldering along with the connections.
Ill put a picture up when I've finished one. Its a different approach to what most have done, and in future I think I'll just put stripboard in. Given this is an early example I want to do the best my humble abilities will allow.
