Ya gotta mean all those 4.3 mc IF transformers.  They've got the same
.01 160V postage stamps inside & they're horrid.  Tee-9-see nutdriver
needed to release can studs & solder sucker to slurp solder off posts.
Then hold tongue just right & remove fm chassis.  Pulling guts outa cans
trashes cambric paper insulation but I put 'em back with clear
vinyl from Office Depot slide binders.  Of course .01 600V disc
ceramics to replace

Not sure I'd ever do another but u sure do get looks @ Dayton
