Project impossible? bringing a magnet-box back from the dead?

[uncleputz]

I have a Tolex project on the bench at the moment, and as soon as it is done, I need to get back on this set. It's been awhile since I worked on it, so I need to replace the AGC resistor which has drifted low, then power up and see what I have. I have a set of test/extension sockets, since the tubes in the IF strip are in non-removable shields. I'll do some voltage checks and go from there. My problem is likely from the If strip to the tuner someplace. I hope the tuner doesn't have to come out. What a bear....
