Motorola 12K2 restoration

I wonder if the "Do it right" stickers were placed on the chassis after it failed a test and was sent back for rework?

One might imagine that all those numbers scrawled in crayon might be wiring steps which were found to be incorrect upon inspection.

It would be fascinating to learn more about how the assembly line really worked. At one time, there must have been hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. working in point-to-point wiring of radios and TVs. I've seen only a few things here and there documenting how these lines really ran and exactly what a typical worker's job was like.
