Who are we to scoff at young love?

Back on-topic....

My Emperor resto is at a standstill for the moment while I have my bathroom demolished.. But I think even Doug would approve of the way I repaired all the brittle/burnt HV leads. You can't tll it from "stock". However, I stlll need to re-do the sloppy cap replacement on the top of the chassis. Will revive the thread before I do.

The radio amp chassis is another story... I think all the output transistors are shorted... Only one channel worked when I got it, so I would recap the amp chassis. Problem is the old germainium transistors are hard to find (so I am told). Seems pointless to recap until I can sourse the transistors. Before anyone considered shipping it whole, I was going to contact the seller (again) and see if they'd sell just the radio chassis and the TV doors (one of mine has a minor flaw).
