Hi David,
That's starting to look pretty good! Obviously more capacitors in the frame stage to replace. Personally, I like to do the whole lot in one go before I apply power especially in sets where access is not good.

In the case of my set, I will remove the chassis from the tube and overhaul the chassis first- just my preference!

I wonder why my tube mask has turned to cheese? Presumably, the one on your set is still hard plastic? My one is like hard rubber- you can distort it by pressing your finger into it!

I think it's a very stylish set- its looking forward to the '60's rather than back at the '50's!!

Cheers
Nick
