Re: Ekco AC77 - well on the way - not there yet!
Where possible, I used things like the old tag-boards to rebuild. I re-stuffed original capacitors and used 1Watt and 2 Watt metal film resistors to look as close as possible to original 1/2 Watt ones. The first pic shows two tag-boards before and after being rebuilt. I made two brackets to support them as I didn't like the original fitments. Where possible I re-stuffed the old caps, some of which had side connections rather than axial. The originals had been sealed with pitch at the ends so I used 'Super Steel' two-part epoxy to seal the ends, (which - despite its name, is non-conductive). If the label on the old cap was too far-gone, I created a new one as authentically as I could - see the electrolytic is the fourth pic, and the label in the last pic. Don't know what 11/07 signified - it was on the original).
