I ordered a whole bunch of 'lytics for the vertical and power supply stages and three of the 5.6 ohm / 2 watt fusibles (in case I fry one.) I thought about getting a higher wattage but read that the whole idea behind fusible resistors is for them to be able to blow when required, and if you go higher wattage they may not, which makes sense. I checked tons of diodes and resistors on the board until going practically blind: some of those diodes are so teeny you can hardly see them! A couple of diodes were inconclusive but it was probably because of other components in circuit with them. I kept a list of items checked as I went. Tough flying blind with no schematic. Also tough finding (on Mouser) a 470 mfd.@200 volt 'lytic, the main filter. They had the snap-in kind but I wasn't sure if I could make that fit. I settled for a 330@200 with regular radial leads. A 470@160 was available but I went for the voltage on the one in the set. Now this goes back on the bench for a while to await the shipment.
