Completely agree Jeffrey, that is why early in my notes I suggested it's wise to have a general visual look very early on and any obvious burn outs noted. Certainly we can risk a bulk cap replacement as we are aware of the pit falls but I was worried about a beginner with television to do a mass snip and solder. The tag boards on these sets are certainly confusing with link wires and wrapped connections.
You built a superb Ekco housing for your Ekco T311 the standards obtained excelled the mighty Ekco themselves. We really must steer Chris away from Bush for his next restoration before he becomes brainwashed and suggest he has a try at a real telly [Ekco T330..] Regards, John.
