I got a very pleasant surprise this week. I rang the furniture restorers that are doing the cabinet for this set to ask how much I owed him and he said its free because the young fellow I rebuilt "The Civic by Eclipse " for has decided he was going to refinish this cabinet as a thankyou for his beaut old console. Isnt it great in this day and age that someone can do that for you hey.

The thing that I like about yellow caps is that one can see at a glance that some refurbishment work has been done. Capacitors for the most part are under the chassis, where they cannot be seen by anyone but the serviceman, so it is a case of as long as the capacitors are new and working, she's all good. I wish the electros were still made in the older sky blue colour so the same could be said of them. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

Nice set, love the dial at night on those, sound great too, speaker & output trans maybe common, was already replaced on mine when arrived Only difference I can spot on mine (R82) other than the pick up posts is the positioning of the horizontal bars across the speaker cloth...mine are about 10mm from top & bottom...maybe a slightly different model..? Should've have read the other 4 pages before posting..it is a different model albeit almost identical! Nice job on the speaker! Cant wait to see the finished case.
