Haven't had much time as I've been ripping out the old worm eaten work bench in my workshop and replacing with a nice slab of spare kitchen work top. Also trying to get things more organised before I delve back in, and install an extractor to keep the solder (and other!) fumes down.

I have managed to rebuild 2 more bathtubs, leaving 3 more. Will probably hit these in one go, this weekend if I can, its a messy and repetitive job.

Once the suspect caps are replaced, I will be able to check remaining resistors, clean the reduction drive, replace the failed dial lamp, and have a think about alignment. I've never properly aligned a set before so will have to do some comprehensive reading on the subject.
