Not really Glen. Some very good work was done to it. It looks like all of it was preventative in nature. A lot of new wire, very well done. Somebody knew what they were doing.

The chassis repair is first class I would guess it may have been dropped. The wiring looks good enough to reuse but if you are going to do it then then dot right!! "Lee's way"

I used the following my build

power from caps to fuse and ground wires to DCP #12
output from back plates to DCP #14
feed from fuse block to back plate #16
ground wires#16 and #12
120volt wiring #14
back plate to control board #20
DCP and meter power supply and volume control wires areshielded #20

Lee the #12 is a bit heavy and hard to work with but does look good
the power plug is rated at 15 amp and I have some 10' #14 ac cords from EBay

I've run some of Navo's #12 from the BR to the caps, it does take some finneglin to get it in there...

Yes sir Navo's got good wire stuff and interesting avatar's
I did the #12 as well. Is a good thing the holes are big enough. The next one I do I will drill some holes above the ones that it comes with for the DCP power connection
