No incorrect reading whatsoever.

I also have all sort of sea, air, and ground based equipment.

These include things like AN/URR-13A, (2).  Built in 1951.

The fusing is done by the manual.

Won't do anything about the line filters, nor the internal 
electrolytics.  If you even remotely believe that those capacitors are 
just fine, then you are dreaming.
