I wanted to cry when I saw the inside what a mess. LOL I've worked with electronics and I was hi Rel certification solder technician. Even worked on some 15 layer pc boards. Being able to work from semantics I was able to rewire my friend's Harley are he burt the wiring. Not only worked with electronics I'm also used to work on cars and motorcycles. My brothers told me if I couldn't work on it I couldn't drive it. Funny over the years I found I knew more about car repair than a lot of men. I've met some that have never done any kind of work not even change a flat tire. LOL But it seems now days they've made it where you have to have a mechanic do the work in fear of damaging the computer system.
09:28 Seeing that output tube all scorched like that reminded me of something I read about: back in the day some folks would build radio transmitters with metal power output tubes such as the good ol' 6L6 in the final RF output stage and would get increased RF power by over-voltaging the tube and building the transmitter chassis so the tube's metal envelope would be suspended upside-down in a can of mineral oil in order to help keep the envelope and it's contents cooled.
