The teardown of the EICO 249 continues. I found it advantageous to remove the second switch, so that will go into the ultrasonic bath before replacement.

Here’s what we’re removing:

And here’s what we had left:

I took most of the wiring out as well, since it was in bad shape. There’s also the matter of a tube socket not cooperating…stay tuned on that one!
