[Boatanchors] HRO-60 repairs

[Jim Wilhite]

And as you are replacing components, be careful of the tube pins.  They 
break easy when trying to remove the wire  components from them.   If 
you don't care about appearance, snip the lead of the component before 
the pin and solder the new one to the wire left on the pin.

As Carl says, the resistors in the 60 really do change value over time.
