It's nice doing an intense restoration of any old chassis, but it isn't necessary - and sometimes will cause more problems.
I am torn as far as how I want to do it, one day I feel like I should pull the board and replace everything and the next day I think I will just clip and solder just what needs replacement. I have been looking at connectors online and thinking about adding a connection to all the wires to make it easier for next time. I just don't know. The new networks arrived the other day and I am just waiting on the rest of the caps to arrive before I get started.
