'50's 17" RCA B&W

The vertical board has been recapped; which, was very interesting. First, I had to unsolder four wires from the chassis, in order to be able to slide the board out enough to gain access to everything. With the aid of a battery operated work light, I flipped the chassis on one side to desolder and remove a cap. Then, I would flip the chassis over on the other side and reposition the light. After poking the new cap through the holes, I'd flip the chassis back on the other side, reposition the light, solder in the new cap, cut off the excess leads, and repeat the process. Tomorrow, I'll re-mount the board to the chassis and resolder the four wires that I had to remove.

I still have to do the audio board, the electrolytics, the rectifiers, and any other chassis mounted caps. At this point, I'm starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
