I wired this as it was originally wired when it came to me, reproducing what was there very carefully. I bought inventory tags when I realized I was going to replace the wiring, just so I could mark every wire. Then I mapped everything out on paper, assembled the replacement wiring (yes, using green waxed cord like the original), and then marked all those with inventory tags as well so that there was no guessing when I installed the new wire. For several days I had two bundles of wiring with something like 20 inventory tags each dangling from them... I lived in mortal fear that if I did not mark everything, something would be spilled, and I'd end up with a very frustrating collection of unknown wires on the floor. I wasn't shooting for that just-manufactured look, there were plenty of gouges and dings in the wood still visible that I left, but it came out looking so nice I just had to show it off. Jeez I hope it all works.
The case will be painted this weekend (my enamelling keeps leaving steaks, but I'm almost there), and sometime soon I should be getting back the bell gongs and hinges re-nickeled. I noticed a lot of surface rust on the steel screws, so most may get replaced with new screws. Also a lot of rust at the ends of the induction coil's iron core where it was visible in the induction coil end blocks... I was tempted to grind them down to get rid of the rust, but I let them be. Might tread the with Ospho, though I fear soaking the wood blocks and having them split. This subset must have lived in a damp environment with all the rust I found.
