These are not wax caps. They are either the kind with the little paper
disk at the ends with the cylinder ends rolled over it, or paper tubes
sealed at the ends with some sort of black hard substance that
does not melt at a temperature low enough to keep the paper
the original hue. They can, however, just be pulled out.
I had to remove the volume and fidelity controls
to get to parts under them. I've decided to replace all parts under them
with new ones because this is such a hard chose.
I was able to leave lots of old rubber wires in the RF section alone
because they dangle quite safely in air ... but in the audio section
100% of the non-cloth wire will have to be replaced.
I got like three caps replaced today ... the rest of the time was spent
in disassenbly, rewiring, and having to go back to campus to buy
a new soldering iron tip since my local (5 minute walk) Radio
Shack was sold out.
