If I spied any other bumblebees, particularly in vertical & horizontal sections, they would be high on my list for replacement. Ditto for any plastic-coated caps in other clothing, like Big Chiefs.

Do you mean the white cap on the convergence board? Im not familiar with what a bumblebee cap is. Also, How can I spot other plastic coated "Big Cheifs"? There are a lot of maroon caps and ceramic disc types.

I see about 5 of those white caps on the chassis, including one large one in the vertical circuit.
