Does the old gear stay old?

Unless it's rare and great, I myself care only about functionality and neatness....

Same here really. I would only go for the most reliable cap replacements should any of mine fail, and as my sets don't use any actual cans, the replacements would be pretty obvious, especially if they're a different color.

Hi Kamakiri,

I am dressing up a Hallicrafters 160. Not rare, not great, but cool looking. I am planning on hiding a DDS freq. stabilizer under the chassis. Not a big deal, just a few wires. See http://www.dxzone.com/cgi-bin/dir/jump2.cgi?ID=27366

I have an old Hammarlund SW receiver too, but I don't think I will do anyting except paint and clean it.
